Walking around Sookmyung campus, you encounter a flood of information from numerous posters. These posters are everywhere. They are plastered in classrooms, on elevators and stairs and can even be found in toilets. They are creating a huge ugly inappropriate mess on notice boards, but the flood continuous.

The Sookmyung Times set out to find an answer to these questions.

My misfortune led to fortune. Applying to be an exchange student, I never expected to go to Brunei. I applied for a university located in Florida, the United States and dreamed of basking in the sunshine on a blue beach. However, after getting selected as an exchange student for fall semester, 2012, I was presented with only few options. Among them, I chose Prague, Czech Republic, as it is famous for being a romantic city. I prepared for the journey to Prague but all of a sudden the International Office gave me bad news. They encountered an unexpected problem with the university in Prague, so I could only go there for one semester, not for one year. I was embarrassed and disappointed as my plan collapsed. However, they suggested going to another place for the other semester. I looked at the bad news as an opportunity. Seeing the list of available places with a fluttering heart, Brunei caught my attention.
