WHAT DO STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KOREAN STUDIES SUMMER PROGRAM?
"MC students can experience different cultures from Korea. Especially from KSSP students can learn about Korea for 3 weeks by lectures and exciting field trips. From this camp I learned a lot about Korea even though I am Korean. Also, I make good American friends and am still in contact with them. We had reunions in Asheville because everyone misses everyone. So we have strong friendship.
If you want to know what activity there are in KSSP, you can watch video clips. It will be fun! :)" --YoungAh Park, current exchange student from Hannam University.
