Korean ATOTers? I might be going to Korea.

[TitanDiddly]

I have an opportunity to do a semester abroad in S. Korea. I need some help making sense of my decision. Any Korean ATOT members on here to help?

Mainly I want to know what the biggest differences between life in Korea and the US are.

Campus is described as 'rural' and the campus photos seem to back that up. It's Handong Global University and apparently is in "Pohang, Gyeongsang, South Korea". Luckily all the classes I'm going to take are in english.
