I was interested in Engineering and

had studied Materials Engineering

or one year at home, beore going in

to the Airorce in South Korea. While

I was in the Airorce, I started to

think about what I could do with my

career ater my time there. I decided I

wanted to change my lie and go and

study in a dierent country. Thats

when I decided to come to Exeter.

The teaching is quite dierent here.

In my country it is one way teaching,

where the teacher just speaks to the

students. Here its better because

you can speak to your classmates

and have your own opinion. You can

also communicate with the teachers

easily too, as they are very open to

questions.

The teachers at INTO Exeter are

really riendly. They are more

approachable than my teachers at

High School and the classes are also

a lot smaller here, as at home there

would have been 3040 students in

experience to have smaller classes.

The way we learn in Japan is also very

dierent. I used to just copy o the

board or rom books and listen to the

teachers. Here we talk in class and it s

much more interactive. I didnt know

about plagiarism in Japan, but Im not

worried about it as we have been
