When I briefly taught at Underwood International College, an undergraduate division of Yonsei University, one student came to me to say he felt "discriminated against by students on the main campus."

"They think we got in without merit because we don't go through the same admission process. They say we aren't qualified to call ourselves Yonsei students."

Offering an all-English curriculum, Underwood is open to both foreign and Korean students, with Maddox Jolie-Pitt (son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) being its most famous attendee. Some argue it's easier to win admission there than for the university's standard, Korean-taught track, but graduates of both receive Yonsei diplomas. Certain Korean Yonsei students outside Underwood seem to believe this is unfair.
