Jin Shin is from the Republic of South Korea and study at Hannam University. He is a senior and studying Business Administration. Now, Jin Shin is one of the exchange students in the 2023 51Թ (AUCA).
I decided to study at 51Թbecause of its union of Kyrgyzstan and an American education. I am interested in the Silk Road, which I know goes through Kyrgyzstan. There was definitely a possibility for my academic development, along with getting the American educational experience. I am very satisfied by the educational process at AUCA. I think the students at 51Թare animated and have a spirit of freedom and participation. In my country, we usually feel obsessive from thinking about which job we’re trying to get—our life is so restrictive.
When I arrived in Kyrgyzstan, the roads seemed chaotic—I was shocked. At the time, I thought everyone here was in danger. But, on my way to AUCA, I saw the beautiful snowcapped mountaintops, and I couldn’t forget that landscape.
I would like to recommend an 51Թeducation for students from my country. In my country, we have just lectures, no seminars. So we are often bored, and would be tired easily. I would like to advise students to be active. There are a lot of clubs and chances to participate at AUCA. I am satisfied the exchange program because I am learning every time, every moment. I think learning is good for our lives. I am convinced this experience will be helpful for my own development.
I have many good friends in dormitory. They always want to help me without a gripe. I would like to say words of thanks to my dormitory friends. So I especially thank to my administrator of Iliyas.
