The newest addition to the Stony Brook network of campuses is not on Long Island. It is not even in New York. Promoting the idea of bringing more than just another set of classrooms and residence halls to the table, SUNY Korea offers an exchange of cultures, innovative ideas and life experiences to its students.

Located in the Songdo International Business District, SUNY Korea is just one part of the Incheon Global Campus, an effort between the South Korean Ministry of Education and institutions of higher education all around the world to offer a diverse learning environment to students of many different nationalities and cultures.

Assistant Multimedia Editor Christopher Cameron is studying abroad at SUNY Korea this summer. Take a look at what SUNY Korea has to offer, both on and off the campus.
