Andrew Lynch (2013 SPIKE participant, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor )

“With my limited knowledge of Korean, I know I never would have been able to explore as much of the country or the culture had I not participated in the SPIKE”.

“The research was an enlightening experience for me; something completely different from the research back at UPenn. I wish it could have been longer”.Christian Wang

(2013 SPIKE participant, University of Pennsylvania)

“The nine weeks I spent at UNIST were some of the best times of my life. I highly recommend this program to everyone because I was able to learn so much about other people and my field of study through this study abroad experience”.
