Hi, so I’ve decided that I want to attend a university outside of my home country (USA) mainly because I can’t afford the high tuition costs.
But, I’m having such a hard time narrowing down the schools!
My top 2 choices are Ewha Woman’s University in South Korea and Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.
I’m Korean (adopted), so attending university in South Korea has always appealed to me and is favored with my family, but I’m also really interested in Thai culture.
I was originally planning on majoring in Korean Language and Culture which would make the Ewha ideal but, Chula offers Korean language courses (taught in English as well). And I’ve been considering changing my major to something like, communications or international business and minoring or double majoring in a foreign language (I’d like to learn both Thai and Korean)
I have high grades and test scores, so I’m not concerned about entry (though, I’ll apply to a wide variety of schools just in case). Ewha also offers a wider variety of courses, but I keep feeling an attachment to Chula.

Anyway, I’m not asking you to make a decision for me (just giving some background on why I asked this question, though I wouldn’t mind some advice ^^) I’m just wondering if International Students have the option of studying abroad in a different university?
Like, if I (an American student), enrolled in a South Korean university, am able to study abroad for a semester or two in Thailand.

I know it seems kind of silly considering you ARE already studying abroad, but I love to travel and experience different cultures and there’s no better way to do that than studying in that country.

Thanks
