Preparation Stage
It is crucial to obtain all necessary information regarding school admission including required qualifications, application procedures and documents, and estimated cost for a successful studyabroad program in Korea. Korean colleges and universities offer many different programs that can differ accordingly in their course lengths so it is important to collect various aspects of information about the desired program. The admission period for spring is between September and November, and for fall, it is between May and June. The exact application period may start at different times depending on universities, thus it is important to check application schedules and deadlines in advance.

Visa Application Procedures
Anyone who wants to study abroad must obtain a student visa from a Korean Embassy or Consulate in their country residence after preparing all required documents to enter Korea when one receives an admission letter. The type of VISA required differs according to what kind of course (Korean language training, regular degree, research, or exchange student at) will be taken at a university in the Republic of Korea. For a student visa, applicants require a D-2 Visa (for a degree that is higher than a professional school, research course, and exchange student course) and a D-4 Visa (Korean language study at language school in University. For more information on student visas, please visit the website of the Korea Immigration Service (http:// www.immigration.go.kr/HP/IMM80/index.do).
If a visa applicant is Chinese or Cuban, he/she should apply for a student visa at diplomatic offices abroad (Korean embassy or consulate) after receiving a Certificate for Confirmation of Visa Issuance issued by the local immigration service (local office). However, if a Chinese citizen enters Korea as an exchange student based on a student exchange agreement with a Korean university, the applicant can directly apply for a student visa at a Korean diplomatic or consular office at the overseas college where a Chinese student is enrolled (If the applicant enters Korea as an exchange student, Chinese nationals can receive a visa directly from an overseas diplomatic office and enter Korea. But this is only limited to students who have studied more than one semester at a 4-year-degree college or graduate school level. If the applicant is an exchange student through a student exchange program among community colleges, he/she should receive a Certificate for Confirmation of Visa Issuance to enter Korea.).
(1) Certificate for Confirmation of Visa Issuance

To simplify the visa issuance procedure and period, the Korean Government operates an improved visa issuance certificate system with which the inviter living in Korea applies to Korea Immigration Service(http://www.immigration.go.kr/HP/IMM80/index.do) for the visa issuance for the foreign invitee, and the certificate of visa issuance is issued to the invitee, and then the Korean Embassy (or Consulate) issues the visa. Except some special cases (such as overseas job training & employment, overseas Koreans, sightseeing and permanent residence), the Korean Government demands all foreigners who would like to stay in Korea for a long time to get the certificate of visa issuance before the visa application procedure. To obtain the Certificate for Confirmation of Visa Issuance, the student himself or an inviter, who is in Korea (head of school which is planned to enter), must submit all required documents for visa issue and apply for a visa issue permit at the local immigration service (or branch office). If a foreigner who receives a Certificate for Confirmation of Visa Issuance (number) submits it (number) to the Korean governmental office in the applicant's country, one can receive the visa quickly. Its effective period is 3 months and it is only effective for that Certificate for Confirmation of Visa Issuance.
Visa may be more familiar to readers, but it is called Sajeong as a formal term by the Department of Justice in Korea. Both terms will thus be used interchangeably hereafter.

TOPIK: Test of Proficiency in Korean The Korean government demands a certain level of English or Korean from international students because basic English or Korean skills are needed in order to have a comfortable stay in Korea.
Therefore, every foreign student who would like to have a 4-year university degree or 2~3-year college in Korea is required to submit his or her TOPIK score (level 3 or higher) accompanied by the admission documents to the corresponding college or university and reach level 4 or higher to graduate. Nevertheless, you don't need to acquire the level 4 if you are in a certain designated English level (such as PBT 550, CBT 210, iBT 80, TEPS 550 or higher) and your courses are given in English. For more information, please ask your college or university. For exchange students, government invited students, foreign government supported students, Korean language students, art & physical education applicants, the required test scores may be alleviated; For more information, please ask your college or university. The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is aimed at providing the direction for the study of the Korean language to foreigners who don't speak Korean as their native language and evaluating their Korean language speaking ability to use the evaluation result for their study abroad and employment. TOPIK that had once been administered by the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation has been transferred to the National Institute for International Education since 2011. The test is held in 177 test centers in 62 countries including 20 test centers in Korea. The test is held five times a year (in January, April, July, October and November), and the yearly test schedule is notified on the TOPIK website at the beginning of every year. The levels are divided into six different levels: Beginner (Levels 1 and 2), Intermediate (Levels 3 and 4), and Advanced (Levels 5 and 6). For more information about the test, please refer to the TOPIK website(www.topik.go.kr).

Higher Education in Korea
Higher education institutions in Korea are largely divided into junior colleges(2~3 year program), universities(4-year program) and graduate schools. In recent years, with the development of information and communication technologies, cyber universities that deliver education in the format of e-Learning are also growing. Graduate-level programs (Master's and Doctoral degree programs) are generally provided at 4-year universities. But recently, separate 'graduate schools' are also being established to exclusively offer graduate programs with no affiliation to universities. By establishment type, Korean universities are divided into national universities that are established and operated by the central government, public universities that are established by local governments, and private universities that are founded by private non-profit educational foundations. To promote quality assurance, the Ministry of Education imposes certain requirements for higher education institutions with regard to faculty composition, curriculum, facilities, degree conferment, etc. Therefore, all private universities which take up the largest share of higher education institutions in Korea are regular educational institutions that have fulfilled the ministry's requirements for establishment and have acquired official accreditation. The Ministry of Education and Korean universities have been actively promoting Study in Korea with a view to gaining international competitiveness and international exchanges and cooperation. As of December 1, 2012, there are roughly 89 thousand international students studying in Korea, among which 64,000 are in degree programs. a. Universities & Colleges Korean universities and colleges offer the following courses.
Foreign students can join a degree program offered during the regular semesters with Korean students. Degree programs are instructed either in Korean or English, After completion, a degree is granted. Most of higher education institutions offer student exchange programs based on the academic agreements with universities overseas. Universities run summer and winter schools offering regular courses and Korean language courses. As many Korean unviersities are keen on internationalization, approximately 30% of courses are taught in English, Some universities have Department of lnternational Studies which teaches all the courses in English. Many universities run Korean language institutes to offer Korean language courses. Short intensive courses for three to four weeks aim to improve communication skills. 10 to 40 week intensive programs improve student's communication skills through many practical assignments and cultural activities, which will also enhance student's understanding about Korea.

Students have to apply for re-registration to restart their studies after the leave of absence. Students receive academic warning when not having met the minimum requirement of academic competency, which is usually above 1.5~2.0 out of 4.5 but differs depending on school regulations. When three warnings given, students will be dismissed from the school, which can cause a handicap against visa extension. Students can change their major when approved by the school approval. Some courses are delivered 100% in English, Recently many Korean universites have increased the number of English courses, more than 100 per semster in favor of foreign students. For some reasons, students can be removed from a school register. Students can withdraw from a school by submitting required documents.

Secondary Education
If you have children in Korea, generally speaking there are three options for their education. Each option has its own advantages. a. Local Korean Schools Foreigners are free to send their children to Korean school. This is an option especially for those children with sufficient Korean language skills. Children lacking fluency in Korean might find it difficult to adjust to Korean school. For more information about the entrance qualifications, please ask the corresponding local education office. Korean schools are divided into public and private schools. Public elementary schools are free (except for school lunches, for which you must pay). Private elementary schools tend to be much more expensive than their public counterparts, but at the middle and high-school level, prices are comparable. Regardless, private Korean schools are much cheaper and even cheapest than international school. b. International Schools Most foreigners eventually send their children to one of Seouls international schools. Be prepared to spend US$12,000-20,000 a year to send your child to an international elementary, middle or high school. That being said, international schools provide a quality foreign language educational environment. English language international schools usually follow American or, in some cases, British curricula. If you have children with special needs, be sure to check if the school provides the necessary services and facilities. c. Home-schooling These days, thanks to the Internet, home-schooling has become a real option for parents, particularly for non-Korean speaking families who do not want to pay the high cost for an international school. If you have the patience and dedication, there are a number of websites that will help you build structured curricula for your children, such as Homeschool.com and the US Distance Learning Association(www.usdla.org).

A boarding house is popular for young students because it is a good way to familiarize oneself with Korean lifestyle. However, it is hard to maintain privacy in a boarding house because it is a communal type of residence.

a boarding house
Tip Important thing to consider when looking for room &

board-One person or two persons in a room?
* What time is breakfast and dinner? * What is the menu? * Is the kitchen available? * Is the bathroom clean? * How many students share a bathroom? * Is a laundry machine avaliable? * What is furnished? * Is lnternet available and included?
c. Rooming house Residence culture is changing in Korea. One of common types of residence now is a rooming house designed for single people, particularly for sleeping. Rooming houses have very limited space but are commonly furnished with an air-conditioner, desk, and bed. Usually there is a shared laundry machine and some rooming houses have restaurants. Careful decision should be made for safety and emergency procedures in case of incidents such as fire. Rooming houses are very affordable near each college or university especially in Sinlim-dong and Noryangjin-dong in Seoul. The cost may differ depending on options such as facilities and meals. The cost ranges from 170,000 to 450,000KRW per month. Information can be found on bulletin boards or websites of universities. d. Room Rent You can rent a room good for one person or a house with several rooms that are good for several people. (1) How to find : y ou can find necessary information from real estate offices, house advertisements in newspapers and other advertisements. (2) Types : Officetel, apartment, one bachelor room, a house good for one person (3) Kind of lease (a) Wolse (Monthly Rent) : There are two types ; no deposit, but monthly payment, or a small deposit which will lessen the monthly rent amount.
43
(b) Jeonse (Key money deposit) : Jeonse or key money deposit is a housing rental system specific to Korea. Instead of paying monthly rent to a landlord, a large lump sum payment is deposited into the landlords bank account for the duration of the contract. By law, Jeonse contracts are signed for two years. At the end of the contract, the deposited amount is returned to the renter. One Room : The deposit can range from 30,000,000 to100,000,000 KRW. The rooms more furnished and closer to subway or bus stop are more expensive. One room includes facilities for eating, sleeping, and cooking. House rent : Students can rent one room or several rooms. Renting a house only for one person may cost at least 50,000,000KRW as deposit. Renting a house with two or three bedrooms would require a deposit around 50,000,000 to 100,000,000KRW. The more expensive ones have better facilities and location. Flat : T he deposit is around 50,000,000-100,000,000KRW for two bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and balcony. Apartment : The average deposit is over 100,000,000KRW.
I n Korea, it is common that no furniture and home appliances are provided to tenants. Therefore, tenants should fill their rooms by themselves.
(c) Saguelse : This is similar to Wolse or monthly rent, but differs because tenants make a deposit and the monthly rent is deducted. The monthly fee is rather low ranging from 150,000 to 300,000KRW but usually bathrooms or toilets are shared. This type of lease is very uncommon these days, but still available in rural areas. (d) Combined Payment (Monthly payment + deposit ) : Wolse requires renters to deposit an arranged amount of money with the landlord, with monthly rent paid on a specified date of each month. The minimum deposit amount depends on the landlord, but the total amount of deposit sum is negotiable with the landlord. The deposit sum can be increased in order to lower the monthly rent fee. For instance, an increase of 5 million won in deposit money will result in a deduction of 50,000 won from the monthly rental fee. In the case the renter fails to make a monthly payment, the landlord has the right to deduct the amount from the key money deposit. Landlords of Wolse and Saguelse usually pay for new wallpaper and linoleum flooring, and repair of waterworks and plumbing. However, in the case of monthly payment + deposit, any repair expense less than 40,000won, is not usually paid by landlords. Although landlords are not responsible for the expenses for new wallpaper or linoleum, it is negotiable. In case of cancellation of the Wolse or Sageulse lease before the contract period, fees for remaining period
44
are to be returned. If more than a half of month has passed since residence began, payment for the remaining are not refundable. The contract for Jeonse or combined payment is usually for two years, but sometimes it is negotiable for one year. To avoid legal issues, using a real estate agent is highly recommended because indemnity can be claimed to the agent. Concerning any legal problems, you can consult with the following centers:
Seoul City Call Center for Lease : 02)731-6720~1 National Tax Service Call Center : 126 Seoul City Call Center for Commercial Lease : 02)2133-1221 Korean Legal and Cooperation : 132 Real Estate Trade Management Call Center : 1588-0149
When making a contract for one bachelor room (one-room), flats or apartments, it is safest and wisest to use real estate agents. Information can be found in various newspapers, periodicals or advertisements, but again real estate agents are more recommended.

This may not mean much to foreigners but some movers actually charge more for their services on these days. Since more people may reserve these dates for their move. you will probably need to pay additional costs in order to move on these days. Check with your service provice for the specific dates.
46
(4) Store-then-relocate Service Storage services are often provided by complete relocation service movers.

They also provide blanket, sofa, and carpet cleaning services for you.
Transportation
Throughout Korea, you can use the convenient public transportation system. Some big cities are densely populated and suffer from heavy traffic, yet the public transportation system is well developed in a systematic and up-to-date system. Various bus routes cover all corners of the city, and you will find that buses are a convenient way to get around the city once you get accustomed to the seemingly complex routes. Seoul city operates the bus-only lane system which allows buses not much affected by the citys heavy traffic. In addition, you can use metro system in major cities in Korea. It is the most efficient and convenient method of getting around town. Not only is it cheap, the average travel time between stations is 2-3 minutes. In rush hours, it helps you get to your destinations much faster than using cars or buses. You can also conveniently travel between cities using inter-city buses or trains. Especially, traveling between regional cities has become more convenient with the addition of the high speed KTX train in 2004. In addition to the KTX, two major domestic airlines as well as several other smaller airlines provide flights to numerous regional cities on a daily basis.
47
a. Taking the Bus (1) City Bus Three types of buses cover routes connecting every corner of the city: Ilban bus, Jwaseok bus, and Maeul bus. Over 400 express and residential buses and 8,500 city buses serve Seoulites on a daily basis. Bus routes can be the hardest to master for newcomers. However, once you get accustomed to taking the bus, it may be easier for you to reach destinations not easily accessible by subway. Buses travel in five to fifteen minute intervals but it may take longer in busier parts of the city. Schedules vary depending on the bus routes but most routes start at 4:30 a.m. with the last bus of the day making its round at 1 a.m. One of the advantages of traveling by bus is that you can actually enjoy the sights and sounds of various neighborhoods around Seoul. If traffic worries you, bus routes do not get as congested as blue lanes marked in blue on streets of major areas are around Seoul to provide a free flow of bus traffic. The drawback to taking the bus is with the jockeying for elbow-room or seating on a moving bus full of commuters.

(2) Intercity Bus When planning a trip to regional cities, a bus is also one of the most convenient options to travel around the country. Buses are divided into express buses and intercity buses. The former will take you another region quickly through expressway(s) without any stop, while the latter will go through express way(s), national highway(s) or local road(s) via some regions. There are four bus terminals in Seoul: Dong Seoul, Sang Bong, Nambu, and Seoul Terminal. You do not have to make reservations in advance to get tickets and since there is an abundance of buses for each route, a little wait will get you comfortably seated on the next bus. Express buses come in two types: ilban and udeung. While udeung buses cost a little more, they are more comfortable with a row of single seats to the left and double seats on the right. This provides much more leg room for those long rides. (http://www.kobus.co.kr, Tel 1588-6900). You need to confirm whether a certain region has separate express bus terminal and intercity bus terminal or an integrated bus terminal.

b. Subway Metropolitan cities such as Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Daejeon have subway systems. Most people use the subway as their main transportation as the subway networks are very well developed and highly convenient with many lines. Seoul Metro has 11 lines, but other metropolitan cities have fewer lines, 1 to 3, but they are still the most convenient compared with other transportation systems.. (1) Seoul Metro You will find that the subway is the most efficient way to get around the city. The subway system has grown significantly over the years since the inauguration of line 1 in 1974. With eleven lines connecting various parts of the city, Seoulites can often travel to their desired destination without the use of buses or taxis. The Seoul Metro is quite easy to use since the lines are color-coded and each station is labeled with a three-digit code. The first digit refers to the line and the last two digits indicate the station number. For example, Myeong-dong station is 424, meaning stop number 24 on line 4. You might also notice that some of the subway trains and platform designs differ slightly as Seouls public transit system is run by three organizations: the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation, the Korean National Railroad and the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation. The subway operation hours are from 5:30 to approximately 24:00. The estimated travel time between subway stations are 2-3 minutes. The schedule can vary depending on the line so remember to make note of the schedule in advance.

d. Train Several options exist for those looking to travel to regional cities from Seoul. Although express buses are one option, it is better to use trains or flights for domestic travel for the sake of overall convenience. Three types of trains exist in Korea: KTX, Samaeul, and Mugunhwa. - KTX : The introduction of KTX in 2004 has made life easier for travel to regional cities. These high-speed trains travel at 300 km/h and have 20 cars with 935 seats in total. The special section has 127 seats with three per section while the general section has 808 seats with four per section.

These trains can be easily distinguished by their blue, green, and yellow colors. The length of the train can vary from five to twelve cars. - Mugunghwa trains, named after the national flower of Korea, are the slowest and the least comfortable of the group. Standing room is allowed and the seating arrangements are not as spacious as the Samaeul train. Mugunhwa trains were commonly used prior to 2004 and are still widely used since they make many stops not serviced by KTX or Samaeul trains. e. Domestic Flights Two major airlines, Korean Air (KAL) and Asiana Airlines, as well as several smaller airlines, serve domestic flight routes. Gimpo Airport is the base of all domestic flights with daily flights to Gwangju, Gunsan, Busan, Yangyang, Yeosu/Suncheon, Ulsan, Jeju, Jinju/Sacheon, and Pohang. When considering domestic flights or train rides, it is important to check the calendar for national holidays. The two major holidays in Korea are Chuseok in September and the Lunar New Year in February when people often make their way to their ancestral hometowns for family gatherings. They are the equivalent to hectic transportation schedules around Christmas or Thanksgiving overseas. Try to avoid travels on major holidays and if its absolutely necessary, plan ahead and book your tickets early.

Highly advanced medical fields in Korea include ophthalmology, spinal surgery, dentistry, cosmetic surgery, heart surgery and infertility treatment. With the rapidly increasing number of foreigners visiting or residing in Korea, more medical facilities have opened international clinics and have endeavored to provide medical services that best meet foreigners medical needs and global standards. Korean medical facilities are categorized into three types by the number of medical departments and the size of the medical facilities. To use third-tier hospitals, a patient needs a referral letter from a first or second-tier medical facility. If the patient goes directly to a third-tier hospital without a referral letter, he/she cannot receive medical insurance coverage and will have to pay the high medical costs. Foreigners can use medical services from international clinics in third-tier hospitals directly, however, it is more costly.
