International Town Program (ITS)

The Korea University ITS program is unique from the typical Korea University Sejong semester exchange program in that it is designed specifically for students seeking a truly immersive language and cultural experience. You will take part in a language exchange program where for 8 weeks you will learn Korean language and culture and assist in teaching local students English and about Western/American culture. To further enhance your language and cultural learning, you will room with local students in the on-campus residence hall.

For this program, students must have a 3.0 GPA or higher to participate.

Benefits: An automatic scholarship for housing, which provides free housing and 2 meals per day (breakfast + dinner). A flight reimbursement scholarship for 1,400,000 Korean Won (approximately $1,100).

 

Living in Sejong City

Living on campus in one of the residence halls connects you to the pulsating life of KU-Sejong. The supportive residence hall community offers students a place to live and work and distinctly enhances their college experience by putting them at the center of everything: classes and labs, the library, recreational facilities and more. KU-Sejong's residence halls on campus accommodate 2,700 students, about 40% of the total number of students registered. The facilities, which have been either newly built or renovated, will enhance your campus life with the modern comforts and conveniences that they offer.

The cafeterias in the residence halls on campus offer either Korean or Western meals for breakfast, and Korean meals are served for dinner. Outside of the residence halls, there are eateries in the students' hall and Crimson Plaza, where students enjoy diverse menus at reasonable prices.
