Hi everybody! And welcome to Hannam's new English-language blog!
What is this place? Well, we started this project as a way to share information about Hannam life and culture with students who are thinking about coming here in the future. While the official Hannam website has a lot written on it, there is nothing on that site that really captures what daily student life is like here. And that's something important to know for anyone considering making it their home.
Let me explain the name. "Madang" is the Korean word for the courtyard in front of a house. We thought it was a good name because a madang is a place for people to gather and greet each other, and that's what we want this blog to be, too. Please share your stories and your experiences with us!
Over the next weeks and months, we'll be talking to people around campus, taking pictures, and more. We want to hear about what makes Hannam special to YOU the students. What is your life like here? What do you love about it? What challenges are there for you?
We'd love to interview both Korean students and foreign exchange students and get many different perspectives. Those of you from abroad, what is it like living in another culture where you may or may not understand the language and be able to talk to people freely? How does Korean university life differ from what you know back home?
And, last but not least, you should know that the articles, interviews, and stories we post here are not the entire point! Hopefully they can become starting points for discussion and sharing of opinions.
I hope this blog becomes a place where we can capture a snapshot of Hannam life! Your thoughts, opinions, funny stories, or even just questions will all help this blog grow, and in turn, help others learn about Hannam.
If you're interested in talking to us or have an event or topic you think we should cover, email us at hannam.yav@gmail.com. Don't be shy! We'd love to hear from you!
