Sports Science Study Abroad Programs in South Korea

I enjoyed every part of studying abroad in Seoul. AIFS made this experience special by having various group activities related to Korean culture. Thanks to the AIFS staff! I will always remember this time.

I would likely recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend, peer anyone I know who's interested in going. I really enjoyed it overall and all the opportunities it gave us to explore more of Korean culture.

I chose AIFS Abroad because I wanted a program that felt supportive but also gave me the freedom to explore, and South Korea was the perfect fit. From the beginning, the staff made everything easy—they guided me through the application and pre-departure steps and were always quick to respond whenever I had questions. That level of support continued while I was abroad, which made the transition a lot smoother. The program itself was well-rounded. Housing was comfortable and in a good spot, and the excursions let me see parts of Korea I might have missed if I had gone on my own. I really appreciated the cultural activities too, since they gave me a deeper understanding of the country beyond just school. On top of that, I built some amazing friendships with other students in the program, which made the experience even better. Looking back, this program helped me grow more independent and confident, and it gave me skills that I know will carry into my career and life in general. I’d definitely recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone who wants both structure and adventure while studying abroad.

I think it's a very well rounded program with an emphasis on cultural learning, which I think is a highlight for any study abroad program. Since I had such a positive experience, I would recommend it to anyone planning to study abroad.

For the South Korean program, they incorporated many excursions that were culturally and historically relevant to Korea and interesting to the students. They were also really supportive and friendly to the students.

CIEE study abroad made my experience structured and fun. The activities, volunteer opportunities, and cultural experiences provided by the program helped me make friends easily and gave me a network of people to connect with immediately. I would not have come here with any other program.

I really enjoyed this program and the people I met during my time here. The CIEE staff was always willing to help when an issue presented itself and they really cared for each of us exchange students.

My time with CIEE has been very excellent. I have enjoyed the program as a a whole and getting to know Seoul. The instructors and staff are very friendly. When I felt unsure or had a medical emergency I knew I could trust in them to ask for help when needed. I truly appreciate the staff very much during this program.

CIEE allowed me to study abroad at the university I preferred. They were extremely flexible with my situation as well and were able to help me fulfill my desire to study abroad while also giving the students many opportunities to explore the country that we were traveling in.

Tremendous staff. Environment is like none other and they accommodate well. For Seville, the city has been tremendous and CIEE gives you a proper introduction to this magnificent city. Whether an intern or a student during one of the sessions, you can get along with everyone and overcome the anxieties of a new city

I would be very likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend because this program gives you many opportunities to explore the city you are in as well as the surrounding areas. All of the employees are very kind people who will be their to uplift and support the students who are abroad.

I would be likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad because the stuff is personable, friendly, helpful, and caring. From the moment you are accepted you are welcomed to the program, helped throughout the pre-departure process, and welcomed to Korea. I’ve met some amazing people, done incredible things, and learned lots!

I would be likely to recommend CIEE since it's overall an excellent program and the staff is amazing. The program was easy to get through from start to finish and staff was very helpful throughout the entire process.

I would reccomend CIEE because of the extensive countries they operate in and the universities they work with. I would also reccomend them because of the staff. The staff for CIEE Seoul have been very helpful and kind.

The program itself had a lot of events and different options to reach out and meet other people that I don’t think other programs have. There were opportunities to do community and volunteer service actives which other programs do not offer either.

I think having a company like CIEE was extremally helpful and having the support of the 선생님s while we were here was huge. We got to go on cool adventures and had a lot of support from the Seoul CIEE staff.

CIEE WAS THERE. If at any point during the semester I was confused, had questions, needed support, anything, CIEE was there! More importantly, the support from all the staff truly helps! Personally, I felt it comforting in knowing I had my 선생님s to rely on. Navigating a new country was scary but with the help of the program, we were guided, taught, immersed and were given the opportunity to travel Korea and learn! While speaking to other Yonsei study abroad students, when I would mention my program, they would know exactly what program I was talking about the benefits of utilizing CIEE. I can't stress enough how prepared, and welcomed I felt by CIEE in arriving to and living in Seoul. I can confidently say that if it weren't for CIEE and the staff, I would not have experienced Korea in the way that I did. I am forever grateful for CIEE.

I think the CIEE Arts + Sciences in Seoul, South Korea program made studying abroad fun and gave me many ways to meet people and explore Seoul. The combination of structure and ease of access makes for a good experience.

I would be delighted to recommend CIEE to multiple peers as I believe this program is incredibly helpful and has a ton of kind people. The program offers amazing staff that remembers your name along with the fact that they will listen to you when needed. Apart from that, CIEE has an amazing network that can provide you with trips to places within your host country for free which can include things such as overnight trips at hotels, with fully paid accommodation, transportation, and food. Along with CIEE having an amazing connection with their host university to the point that CIEE students get guaranteed housing and courses. I know many people from other programs who get no support from their advisors in all aspects, no guaranteed housing to the point where they have to go on Airbnb and find off campus housing. Along with no guarantee of getting classes they want, or being able to get classes that transfer back to their classes.
