As a UC Merced student, you could study at Yonsei University, spend significantly less money than in Merced, find great opportunities in research and travel, take your classes in English, and still get financial aid.

Here’s a quick list of the opportunities offered within Korea:

• International Summer School, Yonsei Univ.
• Yonsei Univ.
