Known for its incredible beaches, rugged mountain ranges and historic temples, Busan offers a one-of-a-kind combination of a comfortable climate, historic culture and fun entertainment. Though it’s the second-largest city in South Korea, Busan maintains a chill beachside atmosphere complete with plenty of cool bars, small boutiques, trendy cafes and sensational seafood. The urban hub is on the coast and dissected by mountains making it just as tempting to nature lovers as city slickers.

  • One of our favorite things about Seoul is how you'll see traditional buildings next to modern skyscrapers—there's always a mix of old and new! 📷: @kate0930 Villanova University who studied in Seoul this spring. #TEANabroad

  • "My time in Korea, although short lived, was some of the most special memories of my life. The friendships I made in Korea are irreplaceable and will last a lifetime. Although the pandemic unfortunately put an abrupt end to our semester abroad, I am thankful I got to experience the beauty of Seoul with some great people. Whenever I feel heartbroken over all of the memories I could have made, I remember that I have new, great friends who know exactly what I'm going through and we can reminisce on the times we shared. I hope to return to Seoul next year to do all the things I could not do due to COVID-19!" 📷&💬: @mar14pham Christopher Newport University #TEANabroad
