UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> – South Korea is one of the most favourable destinations for many people. The reasons varied, from the K-Pop culture and the quality education. Many students aspire to pursue their education in the country. \n \nTalitha Vanya Ekta, Communication student of 51动漫 (UNAIR), shares a similar sentiment. Thanks to the IISMA program organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, she was able to realize her dream of studying at one of the top universities in South Korea, Hanyang University<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI do love K-Pop, but that\u2019s not the reason why I want to study in South Korea. I\u2019m curious and I want to learn how this country managed to develop so rapidly into an advanced nation. Interestingly, their journey includes an almost parallel timeline to Indonesia,\u201d Vanya said.<\/p>\n\n

Korean students\u2019 learning enthusiasm<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

The learning culture in South Korea is quite different from Indonesia. They enjoy studying. They ensure the study room remains occupied until the weekend. The education system focuses on both lecture-based and discussion-based learning. Students are accustomed to studying the course materials before the class.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s different from Indonesia, where students present their own materials. Most of the classes I took were taught by the lecturer. They also strongly encourage discussion. We can get to know each other and exchange ideas,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The learning culture has boosted Vanya\u2019s enthusiasm for studying. She is embarrassed if she appears lazy. The learning facilities are comprehensive, such as study spaces equipped with computer rooms, reading areas, discussion rooms, and individual study spaces.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very specific. In the reading room, we are not allowed to use a computer or laptop. Every desk has its adjustable lighting so we can study comfortably,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Coffee lifestyle<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

The Jember-origin student further highlighted the locals\u2019 lifestyle, particularly their love for coffee. They always carry iced Americano everywhere, even in cold weather.<\/p>\n\n

They drink coffee to stay focused on working and studying. Besides, South Korea is known for its \u201cppali-ppali\u201d or rushing culture.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI saw many people take iced Americano anywhere. No wonder that the dustbins are always full its paper glass,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Vanya is grateful that IISMA has given her a valuable opportunity to learn many things in her dream country. She got to learn in the class and through the community, culture, and environment.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, I\u2019ve become more appreciative of the culture and lifestyle that might have been a bit challenging to adapt to initially,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
