When?  9-12 weeks (or possibly longer if you want) from June to August 2015 (or possibly spring/fall if you want)

How?  Simple. Go to http://applymisti.mit.edu<http://applymisti.mit.edu/>, upload a resume, and make an appt. to chat with Matt. Or just email him (mit-korea at mit.edu<mailto:mit-korea at mit.edu>). 1st round application deadline is 11/30.

Why?  Because intensive experience abroad is critical professionally and personally. And because Korea is amazing. Nowhere can you experience the same sights, sounds, and culture in a country whose exceptional achievements and transformative changes over the last 50 years have led to ancient history mixed with cutting-edge modernity and tradition conjoined to technological achievement. Korea’s fun, challenging, and off the beaten path.
