Gwangju, South Korea

Spend four unforgettable weeks this July studying abroad in Gwangju, South Korea, San Antonio’s official sister city since 1981. Alamo Colleges District students will live on campus at Chonnam National University, participate in the international summer program, and select one to two transferable Alamo Colleges, equivalent courses taught in English.

Students will stay in modern campus housing featuring a reading room, computer lab, fitness room, lounge areas, a ping-pong room, an ironing room, and shared washroom and shower facilities.

Beyond the classroom, the program includes weekly cultural excursions such as an ocean cruise, a trip to Seoul, mountain glamping, and a Korean baseball game. These experiences provide meaningful immersion in Korean culture, history, and everyday life.

This unique program strengthens the long-standing sister-city partnership while offering students a transformative opportunity to learn, explore, and grow as global citizens.
