Our First and Second University Visits!!

Our first university visit - Soongsil University - one of Korea's first and oldest universities!!

Here's what awaited us at our  first university meeting. Quite the feast!!! It turns out that this was, by far, the fanciest reception at our meetings that we received!!!

And, this is the famous Yonsei University, the "Harvard" of Korea! His was day two and our second school visit.  Our orientation adviser in the States is the great grandson of the founder of this university. This is the delegation, minus one, with whom I traveled.

And this is the "Global Lounge" at Yonsei.  Many of the universities had some kind of global lounge like this, each with slightly different offerings and rules.

Entering Yonsei's library:

This was amazing!!! It was a huge touch pad screen that offered daily access to over 100 newspapers and magazines from around the world. Go Yonsei!!

This was one of many welcome signs for our group - digital all the way!

And these are machines that Yonsei students must use to reserve a seat in the library (and obtain a ticket to confirm their reservation). This would probably only be used in the States just before finals!!!
