Student Quotes

The most interesting experience so far from a student in Seoul, Korea:

"'Yon-ko Fete' which is a big sports event fought between two famous
universities in Seoul such as Koryo University and my school, Yonsei
University. It was so exciting to see many games such as basketball,
baseball, ice hockey, soccer and rugby. I danced and sang a lot to cheer up
my school. This is like a football game at UGA."
