Jessie is a junior majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience. She studied abroad during the spring semester of her sophomore year in South Korea at Yonsei University. She went to Korea because she wanted to be near family, and also to experience university life. However, she thinks the biggest takeaway was being able to meet people from different backgrounds. It is challenging for Jessie to build relationships, but it was easy to relate to the students on her program and show them around Korea.
