I recall the moment when I entered the HUFS website with my hands trembling, and found the word ‘Accepted.’ Full of euphoria, I felt that years of my effort finally paid off and manifested itself into this moment.

At that time, HUFS was instilled in my mind as a dreamlike place where I could seek after higher education and wisdom with everyone being exemplary. Unfortunately, that was not entirely true.

Some courses I took fell short of my expectations and there were miserable incidents that struck the university such as the embezzlement cases. Nevertheless, I am convinced that my initial thoughts on the school were not a mirage. HUFS truly broadened my horizons and benefitted me in diverse aspects.

Through club activities such as Anglosphere, I could not only gain profound understanding in my field of interest, English Linguistics, but also build a rapport with those I desired to be friends with: altruistic and zealous people. Also, the memories I made such as staying up all night in the library with friends, cramming for exams will always be reminisced upon with a smile on my face.

In a nutshell, half of my freshman life was fulfilling and meaningful. Yet, if some student representatives avert their eyes from greed and become moral, HUFS could turn into an even better university.
