IES Abroad is Going to Seoul!
We are excited to announce that starting in Fall 2023, IES Abroad will have a new location in Seoul, South Korea.
Seoul is a dynamic metropolis where ancient history and modern life converge. And you might have heard that Seoul was ranked third “best student city” according to the QS World University Rankings® 2022! Winning factors include a “24/7” culture thanks to night markets, late-night tea houses, and 115 museums; nine major subway (plus bus) lines so everything feels convenient; and a population of nearly 10 million people to enjoy all that it has to offer.
So picture it: you’re walking across campus at Yonsei University listening to your favorite K-Pop songs, hoppang (steamed bun) from a pojangmacha (street cart) in hand, ready to take on the day in bustling Seoul.
Want to see or hear Seoul for yourself? Head to this page and select “Seoul” for an immersive experience.
