Open Lounge

Last Friday, I attended a research seminar on the topic that I’m interested in and doing research on. There, I had the chance to meet other international graduate students from different countries. Even though we’re studying in different fields, we share so many of the same worries. I wish I had known sooner that there are so many other international graduate students in Korea who are going through the similar journey as me, therefore I didn’t have to feel like I was falling behind. You can also sign up to present your own research at academic conferences! I’ve attended quite a few conferences since last year, and the research presented there has given me so many references and helpful insights. So don’t be embarrassed or hesitant to attend a conference alone. You never know who you might meet or what you might learn along the way.
