I was nervous about making friends in Korea, but Mentors Club made it so easy. The buddy system is amazing!
Through Mentors Club, I experienced authentic Korean culture and made lifelong friendships. It's not just a club—it's a community that truly cares.
Best decision I made during my exchange! The events were incredible and my buddy showed me the real Seoul.
