Medical Care Insurance
The National Medical Care Insurance for Foreigners Act has been enforced since October 1, 1998. So foreigners who expect to stay in Korea for one year or more must be insured (with a certain insurance premium to be paid monthly). You can get insured at the Medical Care Insurance Branch Office in the area where you are staying. The required application documents are a school certificate and a certificate of alien registration.
The Student Medical Service financially assists students by paying a portion of their medical treatment fee when they need medical care. This system has been put into operation in order to contribute to improving students’ health. The students are charged with a fixed fee upon admission and become members of the service during their time at SNU.
1. Membership and fee Qualification for membership: Registered students who have paid the fee upon admission Fee: Undergraduate freshmen: 32,000 won First year graduate: 16,000 won
2. Service procedures After a medical treatment is performed and the payment is made, one must complete the subsistence application forms which are found in the student administrative office of the respective college or the Welfare Office on the third floor of the University Administrative Building. With a letter from the doctor (if not available, the diagnosis document), submit it to the Welfare Office. After an examination, a medical treatment fee will be paid according to the fixed payment basis. The application of deduction payment period is within 2 months after graduation or completion of one's studies. However, it is recommended that comprehensive medical care insurance be obtained by the student since the Student Medical Service offers only minimal coverage.

Public Transportation
To get the benefits of using Transportation Card Both traffic cards and T-Money can be used to receive fare discounts for transfers. The transportation card and T-money are read by a machine; touch the card to the machine each time a passanger embarks and disembarks from a bus or a subway to get the discount benefits of the transfer. After getting off the bus or subway, a passenger must transfer within 30 minutes (except between 21:00 and 07:00, when the transfer period is within 1 hour) to get the transfer discount. The transportation Card can be purchased at a kiosque or Woori Bank. The SNU Student ID Card can also be used as a transportation card. They are rechargeable at any subway station or copy room on SNU campus. Seoul Bus System On July 1, 2004, Seoul started a new Bus system. Each bus in the municipal transit system will now employ one of four colors: blue, green, red or yellow, depending on its function. Now, passengers can easily identify the starting point and the destination of a bus at a single glance. The entire area of Seoul is divided into eight zones, which are clearly indicated in the numerical designation of each bus. To search for Seoul public bus routes, go to (http://english.seoul.go.kr/images/SeoulBusMap.pdf) Blue buses (Main Line) serve the major trunk roads between downtown Seoul and satellite cities of Seoul. The buses have the letter "B" on them, representing blue buses. Bus numbers have 3 digits. (Example: 141) Green buses (Branch Line) serve routes between subway stations and nearby residential areas/main bus lines. (These routes are often covered by village buses) The buses have the letter "G" on them, representing green buses. Bus numbers have 4 digits. (Example: 2412) Red buses (Wide Area Line) serve routes between major areas (downtown, Gangnam, Yeongdeungpo, etc.) and metropolitan satellite cities (Ilsan, Bundang, Uijeongbu, etc.). The buses have the letter "R" on them, representing red buses. Bus numbers have 4 digits, starting with "9." (Example: 9412) Yellow buses (Circular Line) serve circular belt roads in the downtown and major metropolitan area. The buses have the letter "Y" on them, representing yellow buses. Bus numbers have 2 digits. (Example: 41)

Seoul Subway System Seoul has 8 major subways lines (and several branch lines) crisscrossing the city and extending out to the suburbs and satellite cities. Because of frequent traffic congestion, subways generally offer the fastest transportation method. All stations are numbered and station names are printed in Korean and English.

Seoul Taxi System General Taxis The fare system is based on both the distance traveled and the time taken. Fares are 2,400 won for the first 2 km and 100 won for each additional 210m. If the taxi is going less than 15 km per hour, an additional charge of 100 won per 51 seconds is added. The fare between Incheon International Airport(www.airport.or.kr/Eng/) and the SNU Kwanak campus will be around 50,000 won depending on the traffic situation. Fares are 20% higher from midnight until 4 a.m. Not all drivers can speak English well. Some taxis have a special free interpretation service, or passengers can call with their own cell phone- 017-200-3000 for a special free interpretation service. Deluxe Taxis Deluxe taxis, called “Mobum taxis” in Korean, have black with a yellow light on the top and the phrase "Deluxe Taxi" written on the side. They offer a high quality service. Fares are 4,500 won for the first 3 km and 200 won for each additional 250 m or each 60 seconds if the speed drops below 15 km per hour. The approximate fare between the airport and the SNU Kwanak campus is about 60,000 won. Receipts are issued and there is no late-night surcharge. Call Taxi People living in remote areas may need to use a call taxi for a pickup. A taxi will usually arrive within 10-15 minutes of the call. Some companies may add a 1,000 won surcharge to the metered fare. (In some cases where the passenger lives a very far distance, the surcharge may be slightly higher.)
Telephone Service
Korea has 2 types of public phones: coin phones and pre-paid card phones. Most coin phones will accept 10-, 50-, and 100-won coins. Coin phones do not return change under 100 won after a call, but more calls can be made if there is money left from the original deposit. Pre-paid phone cards are sold in denominations of 3,000, 5,000, and 10,000 won. They are available at convenience stores, newspaper stands, and stationary stores. To use, take the receiver off the hook, insert the card, and dial the number. The display tells how much money remains on the card. End a call by hanging up and retrieving the card, or make additional calls by pressing the green button and dialing the next number. If the card runs out of money during a call, the receiver will beep several times. Press the red "change card" button and insert a new card. Calling Rates: For local calls; 70 won per 3 minutes, for Long-distance calls; 70 won per 43 seconds, and for mobile phone calls; 70 won/38 second. You get 30% discount from 9pm to 7am. International phone calls can be made through public card phone (coin phones will not connect overseas) and personal phones. Callers can use International Direct Dialing (IDD) or go through an operator. For IDD, dial an international access code (001, 002, or 008- all have slightly different rates
18
and discount periods), the country code, area code, and phone number. For example, to call 555-1234 in Los Angeles (area code 213, country code 1), using KT (001) as the international access provider, dial 001-1-213-555-1234. For an international operator, dial 00799. Mobile Phone Many Koreans carry personal mobile phones. The country has two major types of mobile phone services: cellular and PCS. Providers have their own prefix for numbers. Monthly subscription and per-call fees vary between providers, but PCS service is generally cheaper. Subscribers pay for all calls that they make. Calls made to mobile phones are charged more than calls made to land line phones. However, the fee to call a mobile phone is a flat time-based charge and does not depend on the geographical distance involved. Several companies rent mobile phones for short-term usage. (Please see the local English language newspapers for advertisements from rental agencies.) Foreign residents must provide their Certificate of Alien Registration, passport, and a credit card when applying for service.
Climate
Korea lies in the temperate zone and has four distinct seasons.
▶ ln late March or early April, the trees bloom beautifully to mark the beginning of spring. Sunny days can be expected from March to May.
▶ During the relatively hot and rainy summer season, the vegetation is green and lush. The average temperature in June is over 20℃. The monsoon season usually begins at the end of June and lasts until mid- to late July.
▶ The coming of autumn in late September brings continental winds and dry weather, making the fall months the most pleasant time of the year. The vivid golds and vibrant reds of the changing leaves create a colorful foliage.
▶ December to February are cold and dry with occasional rain or snow. During the winter months, three or four days of cold weather are usually followed by a few warmer days.
Currency
The Bank of Korea issues currency notes and mints coins. Currency units are 1,000-, 5,000-, and 10,000-won notes, and coins include 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-won coins. Special bank checks (Supyo) in denominations of 100,000 won or higher can be issued by banks on-demand, but are sometimes subject to a handling charge by merchants, especially is cashed outside of the city where they are issued. There are three banks on campus, Nong-hyup(NACF:National Agricultural Cooperative Federation), Shinhan Bank and Woori Bank. They deal with money exchange, opening accounts, telegraphic transferring, etc.
