Housing

All exchange students, including UC students, are guaranteed housing in an on-campus dorm, the only housing option offered on this program. All dorm rooms are equipped with desks, chairs, closets, and beds plus bedding. There's no meal plan offered, but there are many nearby cafeterias. You'll need to pay for meals using a card, as cash isn't accepted.

The international dormitories are arranged for you by the on-site International Scholar and Students Services team. There are a variety of programs for international students, including the Buddy and Mentor program, culture classes, Discover Korea/KAIST, KAIST ONE (country presentations with traditional food and performances), Food and Sports Festival, and the Year-End Party.
