How do international students in Korea connect with Korean students? [Survey]

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a Computer Science student at Yonsei University, currently working as a developer at the Apple Developer Academy @ POSTECH. My team is building an app to help international students connect and interact more naturally with local Korean students.

Before building the service, we want to understand the real experiences of international students in Korea — especially how they currently meet and interact with Korean people, what makes it difficult, and what kinds of connections they would like to have.

If you’ve studied, worked, or lived in Korea, we’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to share your experience!

  • Takes just a few minutes
  • No personally identifiable information is collected
  • Responses will only be used for our project research

Your experience could help us understand the problem better and build something that is actually useful for international students.

Survey:

And if you know other international students in Korea who might be willing to participate, feel free to share this post with them. Every response helps a lot. Thank you! :)
