 Kim Yoo-jung (Film Major, School of Performance Film) who went to BBA Lyon, France, Park So-yeon (Dept. of British and American Humanities) who went to Luzern University in Switzerland, Kwon Hyun-ji (Dept. of Korean Language and Literature) who went to Waseda University, Japan and Nam Hyun-soo (School of Spanish and Latin American Studies) who went to Malaga University in Spain made the presentation. They guided attendees through the visa application process and document preparation necessary for exchange programs and highlighted their diverse activities abroad, from attending the Cannes Film Festival in France to immersing in Switzerland's breathtaking nature, engaging in part-time work in Japan, and exploring Europe while in Spain. They also talked about the difficulties they encountered while studying in a foreign country and the differences between foreign and Korean universities. They gladly shared information that would not be known unless experienced it.

 At the end of the presentation, all Dankookians had the opportunity to ask questions to the presenters. The event served as a vital source of information for Dankookians interested in pursuing exchange programs, providing rare access to firsthand accounts from those who've undergone such transformative experiences abroad. The rarity of encountering fellow Dankookians who have engaged in exchange programs made this event especially valuable, offering a unique opportunity for attendees to glean knowledge and inspiration from these seasoned exchange students.
