Location:
Seoul (pop. 10 million) is the capital and largest city of South Korea. Located on the Han River in the center of the Korean Peninsula, Seoul has been a major settlement for over 2,000 years, with its history dating back to 18 BCE. Seoul’s influence in business and finance, international trade, politics, technology, education and entertainment all contribute to its role as a leading global city. It is one of the world's top ten commercial centers and home to large conglomerates, such as Samsung, LG and Hyundai-Kia.

Housing & Board:
On-campus housing is available at the International House, offering single and double rooms.

Students pay for their own meals.
Budget Information:
Students studying abroad will continue to pay Wheaton tuition. Students are not charged Wheaton room, board, technology, laundry, or student activities fees while on a study abroad program. Wheaton will, in turn, pay the program for all tuition and academic fees and international health insurance. Students will pay housing directly to Ewha and will book and pay for their own flights.
Fees billed by Wheaton will be charged to students on their regular Wheaton College student account during regular billing cycles (July/December).
Federal, state, Wheaton need-based and merit scholarships will be applied to these charges for Wheaton-approved programs. Students must consult with the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS) for a comprehensive review of their aid. If a student receives aid beyond the cost of Wheaton tuition, they can request a refund through SFS. This can in turn be used to pay Ewha for room and board charges.
Please do your research as housing and meal costs vary greatly from program to program. This
