A Student's Experience: An Exchange Semester in the Czech Republic
Our Student YoungEun Koo shares her study abroad
experience at the Metropolitan University of Prague, Czech Republic one of the new
study abroad destinations for SolBridge students.
“I am delighted that I chose to come to the Czech
Republic of Prague as an exchange student.
I had an option of choosing between a university in Prague or Olomouc. I
came to Prague because I thought the capital city would be a better option for
me. I have met a lot of European
students at the Metropolitan University of Prague (MUP). MUP has a traveling
group that organizes trips to different parts of Europe. I traveled with them to another city in
Czech where I met many Erasmus students. We had a lot of team building and fun
activities including a video project. We also went to Auschwitz camp in Poland
where I learned about Poland's history that has changed my perspective and
helped increase my appreciation for European history and culture.
I only have a few months left as an exchange student
and hope to enrich my study abroad experience by traveling to other parts of
Europe.
I am thankful to SolBridge for this opportunity.”
