Road Casting

As a new semester came along with another new year, HUFS welcomed the new freshmen entering in 2017. Likewise, all HUFSans once went through their freshmen year, a hard time getting used to a brand new environment. In order to help the newbies adjust to the new campus life, The Argus met four HUFSans, ranging from a sophomore to a senior, and asked for advice on what they would do if they could go back to their freshman year.


Ju Min-su, Dept. of Political Science and Diplomacy ‘13
If I could go back to being a freshman again, I would care about my grades and study even harder. But more than that, I would like to join and participate in activities such as clubs or organizations with a burning passion. If you share in various activities with people who have the same interests or hobbies as you, you will have fun memories. I was a member of an academic society at my department but I regret that I did not join bigger clubs that do not have to do with studying.


Lee Dong-woon, Dept. of International Business ‘13
I would want to hang out crazily with friends much more than I did. When I was a freshman, I was very busy since I had so many activities that I wanted to do after a long period of studying. I joined numerous dongaris, or university clubs, such as the photograph club and start-up club and experienced a lot. Unfortunately, I did not have spare time to hang out with my classmates. I think it is important for freshmen to spend time together with classmates and make some fun memories.


Kim Gun-joong, Division of Language & Trade ‘15
If I could go back to freshman year, I would actively participate in my division and club activities. Interpersonal relationships are quite important in university life, but I did not recognize it then. I only heard what I wanted to hear and met whom I wanted to meet. I was neglectful of meeting various people and listening to their values and opinions. However, as time passed by, I realized that it is very crucial to share ideas with people who come from diverse backgrounds in order to expand my worldview.


Shin Soo-hyun, Dept. of German ‘16
There are things that you can only do when you are a freshman. Just do what you want to do, as you become an adult! If you have a mind to do something, you should definitely go for it. Questioning yourself about “to do or not to do” prevents you from having experiences. I was wondering whether to go to the voluntary activities for rural areas or not because I had to leave home for more than a week. However, it was a good experience since I met many farmers and other students and could sympathize with them.
