University on-campus dorm
- All participants will be placed in a double occupancy room of our on-campus dormitory.
- Each room is furnished with two single beds, bedding, desks, chairs, wardrobes, a phone, WiFi, A/C, and a private bathroom. Towels and cleaning supplies are not provided.
- A variety of facilities are also available for students’ convenience such as a laundry room, restaurant, gym, convenience store, etc.
- Students don’t need to bring bedding from home. Western style bed sheets aren’t widely used in Korea; a Korean style sheet/mat for use on the bed as well as a blanket and pillow are provided to each student.
- When double rooms are full, you may be assigned to a 4-person room.
- Please note that students can stay in the dorm only for the length of the program period.
TB test results
- For the safety of all residents in the dorm, it is required that participants do a tuberculosis test (chest x-ray, skin test or blood test) and submit the results upon arrival.
- The test should be taken within the 2 months prior to the dorm move-in date.
- A record of vaccination for tuberculosis is NOT acceptable.
- You can use any documentation provided by your health care provider.
- If participants do not submit an acceptable report, they must have a test done in Korea upon arrival (cost 20,000 won).
