Hi everyone,
I’m considering transferring to Korea University for my undergraduate degree, and I’d like to know what the academic environment is really like.
How competitive are students with each other?
Is it difficult to maintain a high GPA?
Do students usually feel a lot of pressure during the semester?
Is it possible to balance studying, part-time work, and having a social life?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences, especially if you’re currently studying at KU or recently graduated.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm an admitted international student at Korea University, but I didn't receive an entrance scholarship.

I have a few questions:

• How competitive are the scholarships for current international students (Excellence, High Achievers, Bright Futures, etc.)?
• What GPA do students usually need to receive them in reality?
• Is it realistic to expect scholarships after the first semester, or are they only awarded to the very top students?

I'd really appreciate hearing from current students or alumni. Thanks!
