<p>Ah, I was going to apply for this. I got a recommendation and expedited my passport… but they changed the age limit at the last second (no seniors in high school are allowed anymore).</p>
<p>I’d recommend it anyone who wants to get an experience abroad, though (since it is for people who haven’t experienced Korean culture).</p>
<p>That’s crazy. I know they are rather strict about the requirements, as someone I know e-mailed them asking if they could still apply even though they wouldn’t turn fifteen until a day after the group returned.</p>
<p>I went to South Korea with CIEE last year on scholarship… it was incredible. Everyone was incredibly nice, we were treated extremely well, and I wish it was longer than two weeks. We did everything from cooking classes to Tae Kwon Do to traditional drumming classes to tours of the Hyundai factory and Samsung HQ. I think they have a university program as well.</p>
<p>I really wanna see the DMZ, but I guess I will have to wait…</p>
