pre-departure & important tips
Here is everything that I think is useful for a student studying abroad, both pre-departure and during your stay in Korea.
In mid-July, I received an email regarding SNU Buddy, which is a program where you are grouped with a Korean student and a few other exchange students to do activities together. I was a little confused by the application at first, but here is what you need to do to ensure you get to participate in SNU Buddy!
1. Fill out the SNU Buddy Application (a Google form) when the email is first sent. 2. Right after filling out the Google form, you can send in your payment to SNU Buddy. I downloaded the Wise app on my phone to send 50,000 KRW to the program. 3. Once someone at SNU has received your application form and payment, you will be able to create an account for SNU buddy. The steps for creating an account can be found in the email sent by SNU Buddy. Once you create your account, you can view the different SNU students who you might be interested in choosing as your buddy, but you will not become their buddy until you choose them during the matching period. It is not guaranteed that you will get the buddy you want. 4. The last step for SNU Buddy is to match with your buddy. There is a specific time that matching begins at. Each Korean student is allowed to have up to 4 buddies. If you are super set on who you want as your buddy, you should log in right when the matching begins in order to get the buddy you want! There are enough Korean buddies for the number of exchange students who signed up, so do not worry if you don't get to log in right when matching begins! If you don't participate in the matching period, you will be randomly assigned to a buddy.
