I'm going to be applying to transfer there in a couple of months (Application is Jan/Feb I mean), but it's sounding pretty complicated because my Korean is a joke. As an exchange student, are you taking all your classes in English or are you actually taking them in Korean? Either way congrats on acceptance!

Haha. Which email address did your advisor send the email to? My faculty exchange coordinator is so not helpful when it comes to things like this. She just tells us to wait.

If you don't get an email by November 30, then you should definitely email them. That's the official announcement date, so it could just be that they're not sending them all out at the same time. @Sarah

I knew a guy in Korea who doesn't drink by choice. And I know someone who decided to break the habit and did so successfully. I wasn't so fond of the taste of alcohol either... it's acquired. I used to hate beer... now it's all right every now and then... It's easiest to party with Koreans if you drink alcohol, to be honest. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy your time in other ways. If you do drink make sure you have an idea of what your tolerance is so you don't create a horrible morning in advance. :P Btw I want to warn you again based on previous comments in other posts about taking a class taught in Korean (I don't know if you were thinking about it but here it is just in case). Make sure you are already familiar with the topic. The 4 people from the first cohort of the Flagship I'm in have been complaining about how hard a time they're having and wish they had an extra year of prep, and they all know much more Korean than both of us. Ahhh, I can't wait... lol Well that’s not to say you will or will not drink. I knew a guy in Korea who doesn’t drink by choice.
