Write a short essay describing how college life in the U.S. differs from college life in your home country.

There are many differences between college life in the U.S. and college life in Korea.

Firstly, two nations have different cultures. Students studying abroad should overcome this problem. They always have open mind about foreign country and try to understand the culture of another nation. Of course, students studying abroad also need to comprehend the culture of other nations because there are many students from various nations. In my case, I was surprised about the roles of road. When I go to school, walkers in U.S violate traffic regulations in front of a traffic light. Also almost all divers yield to pedestrians. This situation, especially the later, cannot be imaged in Korea. Students studying abroad should accept and understand a cultural life and level.

Secondly, Students studying abroad need to change study ways. There are different educational systems between Korea and U.S. For example, students in Korea are familiar with and prefer self-study. They only listen lectures from teachers, write memo, memorize at home, and prepare for an examination. However, U.S is not. All students inquire questions beside the mark and searching questions and teachers sincerely answer the questions. If a student inquires silly questions, other students will ridicule and teacher hit the students. , Students studying abroad, especially Korean students, should adapt to new circumstances.

Lastly, in Korea, people think that students who have great grades real students. Almost all students overstudy during all day and teacher often use coercive measures. Students in Korea are good at those systems. They should throw away such thoughts in U.S. They try to find abundant experience form routine life. For instance, many people are in school. They might have various thoughts from different environments. Students studying abroad can easily learn and understand the culture of other nations.

In conclusion, Students studying abroad always respect and they are active about all problems.
