The road to South Korea was uphill for Gabby as she managed the Covid-19 restrictions for both the United States and South Korea as well as completing all of the Visa applications as well as confirming her budget and financial aid resources.

During this episode, we tackled student life at NC State versus student life abroad, benefits of TRIO from high school to college, and life abroad.
