On the flight over to Korea, all of the students will fly together as a group.
Myself or Program Assistant will meet you at the Airport and we will travel by subway or by bus (depending on traffic) to the dorm at Dongguk University.

Can I use my Electronic Devices in Korea?
2 Things to consider:
Voltage: In the US, the voltage is typically 110-120. In Korea, the voltage is 220V.Plug Shape: Plugs in the US usually have 2 flat pins. In Korea, the plug shape is round, therefore you need an adaptor in order to use your device.

Seoul has such advanced infrastructure that it’s been offering cellphone service, 3G, and Wifi on all Seoul metro rides and stations. Basically what that means is: In Seoul, you are always connected!
