How Was the Classes in Seoul?
This is when I moved in one-room in Anam
From this year, I became the student of Korea University Seoul Campus. With honor, I entered the class. The first class was Artificial Intelligence. I was little bit nervous, but professor’s voice made me comfort. Soon, I could concentrate on the course. The class was as swift as an arrow, and so was the first week. Though the courses were difficult to understand well, but all of the courses were interesting(Because they were courses of major thoroughly). In Sejong, there are almost 30–40 students per class. In contrast, there were 100–120 students per class in this Campus. Many of them have great attitude toward the class. The fact that I can compete with them and learn from them made me smile. Also, on the web site of the department(cs.korea.ac.kr), administrator frequently posts. This was the most difference between both campus. Because of this, students have much more options to participate in activities.

GPA of This Semester?
4.1
What Else Did You Do Except the Curriculum?
•
Applied Software Maestro but failed to do it.(Software Maestro is the 1 year course for the developers to make projects with colleagues and get help from mentors in certain company.)(Selection process divided into 4 steps. I passed 1st “Career Paper”, 2nd “Personality Interview”, 3rd “Coding Test”, but failed the last one “Depth Interview”.)
•
Participated in the company presentation like recruiting interns.(The smart convergence department of LG graduate school, Samsung Display, MindsLab, The CEO’s presentation from Silicon Valley : How to start a business)
Feedback of This Semester?
The reason why I registered low credits were I didn’t have to and I would like to do other activities like projects. However, in this semester, it’s not that satisfied. I didn’t solved the algorithm problems at all, didn’t conduct any project. Just participating the company presentations. Though I promised not only focusing the normal curriculums of my department, but also conducting projects, I’ve kept studying only for the courses. I think that I still don’t know what to do if I have spare time. I think I need to experience of conducting projects or studying something else to know what does the feeling of doing those. Need to know how to start them and how to make them as my habits. From this summer vacation, I will start something different from before. Also, I hope to find the field that I want to do.
