Description:
Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery. A Youth For Understanding USA (YFU) study abroad program is an experience that will immerse you in the lives, cultures, and communities of a real family in one of more than 40 countries around the globe. An adventure where you'll learn---in a year, semester, or summer---what life is like for teens in another part of the world. An experience that will change you and your view of our planet forever. A YFU exchange program is the learning adventure of a lifetime. YFU is a homestay experience where you live with a carefully selected host family who has agreed to attend a new school on academic programs. Have a journey you could have never imagined at home, and you'll discover that the YFU experience is a powerful engine for personal growth. Ever ancient, ever new. Come to South Korea to learn about its heritage and traditions. See the new Korea, the Asian Tiger, now a major player in the global community. Learn about a culture that continues to change while holding on to its history.
