Hyeji Kim, Political Science.
I'm an immigrant from South Korea so I came here before high school started
and back then, I was very interested in how the U.S. and Korea were different
from basically like, our appearances to culture, language
and things that are very visible on the outside
and then I became interested in how the U.S. and Korea developed their relationships
like what was their starting point and how is it going, what is it turning in to.
And so I decided that Political Science was the best way to focus in on that relationship
Because I knew that Political Science would give me that critical perspective
and the extra knowledge to hone in on not just the U.S. and Korea relationships
but any relationships between two countries.
I really love the faculty that we have at the Political Science Department.
I think it is scary as a freshman or a sophomore, even a sophomore, to knock on their doors
and go to their office hours, or send them an email,
but once you get over that step, it's really rewarding
because the professors really care about what you do
and it's not just your performance in his or her class, it's about how you plan to proceed with Political Science,
how you plan to proceed after graduation, what your career plans are.
Because this campus is so big, there are so many people to meet and to learn from
and that's something that I really, really value about Ohio State.
