Of course if you are new to the international student life, you may find it hard to adjust. Especially if the lives of many Koreans are totally different from yours.
In my case, I have been exposed to Korean culture since I was 18 years old. So, I know their food, their traditions and even their personalities. I can safely say I am 40% Korean as I am influenced by them -- in music, in tv shows, in movies, in food!
Studying in soongsil can be easy but there are some things that you can expect from it.
There are several eating options available on campus for staff and students. The first is the newly designed main cafeteria located in the Student Union Building, which can seat over 700 people, and has a wonderful view of the new outdoor field and stadium. Daily Korean menu choices are displayed in the lobby, and a weekly list can be found on the internet through the cafeteria’s website (http://www.soongguri.com/inc.php?inc=weekly/ weekly). It is open weekly for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Saturdays for breakfast and lunch only, and closed on Sundays. Prices range from 1,000 KRW to 8,000 KRW.
A second choice is The Kitchen located on the first floor of the Computer Science Institute. It offers a more western style menu of pizza, pastas and salads. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
If you also are into working out, they have that too!
There is a gym located in Jo Man Shik Building. Please inform them in advance if you are interested in using the facilities. It will cost approximately 50,000KRW for a semester. It is open Monday through Friday from 8AM to 9PM and Saturday from 9AM to 6PM.
If you are living in the Soongsil Residence Hall, there is a small gym located in the basement. It will cost you 35, 000 won and you can register for it upon your arrival at the office. Check with them for more details on operating hours and access.
If you have a hobby, then joining a club can be really really amazing!
There is a great variety of student clubs available on campus ranging from academics, religion, art, creative arts, sports, and volunteerism to name a few. Joining one can provide you with a diverse and rewarding experience outside of your regular school curricula, and is a great opportunity to meet others with similar interests. If you are interested in joining a club, talk to a representative from SISO, and they can help you.
You see! It seems that SOONGSIL IS AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY. It is designed to cater to the WORLD. It is a world class university. This is why I also like to experience life there.
