The most impressive part about being a freshman at KU is that many experienced senior students are generous in helping first year students. During the course registration orientation, seniors gave us tips to successfully register for courses, and recommended certain courses and professors. Thanks to the seniors, I was able to nicely start my first semester with a good timetable schedule.

Among numerous events held at KU, I am especially excited about the Annual Go-Yon Games. Four hours of non-stop cheering at the cheering orientation was a definitely unforgettable experience I had as a freshman. I cannot wait to fully show my enthusiasm and love for KU at the Annual Go-Yon Games.

 

 

 

Before I entered university, I heard a lot about college campus life from students at KU. According to what experienced-ones told me, their first year at KU was full of new and unforgettable experiences. I am thrilled to experience things I was not able to have in my high school years.

As soon as I participated in the first school event, an orientation for Business Administration students, I could feel the energetic, yet friendly atmosphere of KU. I am excited about feeling the energy and passion at Ipselenti "Jiya Hamsung"(Roar of Wisdom and Wilderness) and the Annual Go-Yon Games. Not all students get to enjoy such events in college life, and I do not want to miss this valuable opportunity.

While fulfilling my ambition as a freshman, I am also going to fulfill my duty as a business student by studying the field of business at an advanced level under excellent professors’ teachings.

 

 

The major difference between high school and university is freedom. In my 12 years at Korean schools, I was assigned a classroom and classmates. There was always a place I could go during break times. However, it is different at university. I do not have an assigned place to go, and I wander in the buildings looking for my lecture rooms. Moreover, I was not aware that students are required to prepare for each session by visiting EKU. As a high school student, I always sought freedom, but at first it seemed challenging to fully enjoy a free, open lifestyle after 12 years of a strictly planned life pattern. Luckily, I am now beginning to enjoy my first breath of freedom at KU.

What I expect the most from my campus life is having diverse experiences through club activities. I was busy preparing for the foreign language high school entrance exam in my middle school years and busy studying for the college entrance exam in my high school years. Now along with studies, I am looking forward to participating in various extracurricular activities and interacting with people with different stories and backgrounds.
