2013 ISS Student Handbook

VP’s Greetings Dear students, Welcome to 2013 SKKU International Summer Semester! In the pursuit of becoming a global top‐tier university, the Office of International Affairs is here to serve the international community at our university, including ISS students, all the while broadening its global alliances in a proactive way. We remain committed to all of you, and extend our thanks for the many ways in which you enrich the academic community of the SKKU. The 2013 SKKU International Summer Semester offers the most innovative international summer semester programs in Korea. The theme “Designing a Sustainable Future" will provide a platform for provocative exploration of local, regional, and global issues reflecting the problems and opportunities that are confronting global society in the post economic crisis era. Our mission is to deliver a highly engaging and truly international educational experience both in and beyond the classroom. The ambitious goals of our program have appealed to those who are interested in looking beyond borders towards a new paradigm sparking international dialogue. This will be achieved through our professors` commitment to approaching problems from an interdisciplinary perspective and stimulating thought‐provoking analysis of key topics shaping social, economic and personal development. I am convinced that 2013 ISS is sure to be a platform where students from all around the globe are able to interact cross‐culturally and challenge themselves by engaging in diverse academic programs and cultural activities we offer. Please feel free to reach us whenever you have any types of enquires or requests. Again, I appreciate your choice to come to SKKU, and I am sure you will enjoy your stay.

ISS student assistants are supposed to serve ISS students in various ways as follows. ■ Teaching Assistants (TA) Teaching assistants play roles as bridges between a lecturer and students. They will facilitate the classroom by enhancing active communications among classroom participants as well. They also may deliver useful information concerning the course or the ISS program itself to the class from time to time. They are the first persons you are advised to get into contact in the event of having any enquiries regarding the class. ■ Housing Assistants (HA) Housing assistants are dormitory helpers who will stay in a dorm with you. ISS participants are required to get a hold of HA of the dorm if they bump into any types of problems or difficulties while staying. You are expected to follow Has’ instruction and guide, as they are the authorized staffs of the dorm who supervises the entire dorm with or without a security guard. ■ Office Assistants (OA) Office Assistants are administrators of ISS Office.

Everyday Essentials

Banking

International students can open accounts in Korea. The bank students will have easy access to is Woori

Bank which is located inside the campus. To open a new account at Woori Bank, students should bring

the documents the each bank requires: for instance, foreigner registration card and passport. Most

banking institutions in Korea open at 09:00 and close at 16:00. Global ATMs at which you can use your

credit/debit cards are available at several banks near each campus.

There are two ways of opening a bank account: • Foreigner Registration Card: A Foreigner Registration Card will suffice for opening a bank account • Passport and financial guarantor: A financial guarantor who has a Korean citizenship is needed for those who do not possess a Foreigner Registration Card.

Currency and Cost of Living

Korean currency (KRW) is called Won – shown as a ₩ before monetary amounts. Denominations are ₩

10, ₩ 50, ₩ 100 and ₩ 500 in coin; and ₩ 1,000, ₩ 5,000, ₩ 10,000 and ₩ 50,000 in bills. ₩ 1,000

Climate and Weather

The climate in Korea can be characterized into four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn and

winter. Summer temperatures average 26 and sometimes mount to 33 while humidity runs around

80 ~ 85 percent; August is the hottest month, and July is the most humid, best months for outdoor

activities especially on the beaches.

Winter temperatures average just below freezing for most areas of the country, just above freezing on

the coast and Jeju Island. January is the coldest month with a mean temperature ranging from ‐5 to

5 . And Precipitation over most of the peninsula averages 1,300 mm per year.

Most rain comes during the summer, primarily mid‐July to early August, but monsoon rains are not

continuous: a few days of rain are followed by a few days of clear skies. Most typhoons hit in late July or

early September. Some snow falls between December and March.

Transportation

■ Subway The subway is the easiest and the quickest way to get to your destination in the metropolitan area. A

pre‐paid card is also useful and convenient if you use the subway often. All signs and most

announcements are in both Korean and English. In addition, you can distinguish the lines by their colors

and the stops are numbered as well.

■ Bus There are two types of buses in Korea: the regular city bus and the deluxe bus. For your convenience, it

is possible to use a bus card to pay the fare instead of paying by cash. Since bus lines are very

complicated even for Seoul residents, we recommend you to use the subway unless you are certain

about the bus number and the stop.

■ Taxi Taxis can be expensive if you are traveling a long distance. The basic fare is KRW 2,400 for a regular taxi,

and the black luxury taxis (called deluxe taxis) will cost more starting at the basic fare of KRW 4,500.

20% of extra fare will be charged from midnight to 04:00 am. There is also a brown special cab for

international residents living in Korea in which you can use English.

Mobile Phone Subscription

There are three mobile phone service providers in Korea: SK Telecom, KT Show and LG U+. The three of
