For my academic blog post, I went to the Baruch Study Abroad Fair to learn about how to study abroad at Baruch. Before I entered college, I dreamed about study abroad in European countries, such as the United Kingdom, and Asian countries, such as South Korea. I would like to put myself in a different environment for five months and learn something new about a country and discover my new potentials. Plus, I didn’t study in the United States for all my life, I have study experience in another country as well. To me, study in the U.S. was like “study abroad” to me when I first arrived in the U.S. When I entered the gym where Baruch hosted the event, I saw schools from all around the world, and of course, I went to the desks of countries I’m familiar with. I had the most interest in study abroad in South Korea since I’m a huge lover of Korean pop music. The school that partners with Baruch College for study abroad is Yonsei University. Yonsei University itself is a very highly-ranked school in South Korea. I learned from the staff that if I go there, I will be enrolled by a program called Yonsei University Program for Foreigners, where international undergraduate students are provided with the opportunity to learn Korean language and experience Korean culture. I wouldn’t need to be afraid of not being proficient in Korean since courses there are taught in English. Baruch’s GPA requirement for study abroad is 2.75. Sometimes one receives credits from Baruch for the courses taken while study abroad, sometimes not, depending on the contents of the courses. Financial aids can be applied to study abroad classes. There are also various scholarship programs that can help students finance their study abroad trips. From this event, I have learned a lot about study abroad and I will keep considering study abroad as an option for me by the time I reach junior or senior year.
