You may experience times of hardship during your time studying at DSU, but I hope you will overcome those by remembering your dreams.”

Fang Yuxin, a student majoring in Animation, said, “I have loved Korean history and language for a long time. I’m grateful for this opportunity to come to Korea. I will try to experience not only my major but Korean culture as well.”

Fan Xuanbo, also majoring in Animation, is finally getting a chance to study abroad. “I’ve always wanted to make new friends and experience a new culture,” he said. “I want to gain knowledge and have experiences that will help me throughout my life. The upcoming year is an important year when my dream will finally come true.”
