Different Country, Same University

Ksenia Kopotilova is an exchange student from Pacific National University in Russia, which has an exchange student program with our university. She¡¯s in 2nd grade in Russia and she came to Korea last year. This is the interview with Ksenia!

Q.. What was the motivation to come to Korea and CWNU?

Ksenia: When I checked the Internet in Russia in my 2nd year, there was this challenge to go abroad. I thought, ¡°I can do it,¡± because it was a challenge and my grades were good enough to give it a try. My motivation was to try something new and to improve my language skills. That¡¯s why I chose Korea.

Q.. How are you improving your Korean ability?

Ksenia: In my first semester which was in September, everybody tried to speak to me in English so my Korean didn¡¯t improve. Also, when I arrived in Korea, there were so many new things and exotic places such as festivals, new friends and cultures, so I couldn¡¯t focus on my studies. This semester, my Korean class is getting more difficult and therefore, I study much harder than before; so I think my Korean is improving.

Q.. What are the things you dislike about being in CWNU?

Ksenia: Even though I studied hard in Russia, I have to study much harder than when I was in Russia. I feel that Korean people study so hard. The passion is good but when I see my friends studying, I sometimes think it can be very stressful for them.

Q.. What do you want to achieve in CWNU?

Ksenia: I want to improve my language skills. I think I have already done it in some respect. My English has certainly improved since before I came to Korea. Because there are no Russian exchange students, I don¡¯t use Russian in daily life. I also want to have more new experiences in Korea, because Korea has a different side compared to Russia.
