FIRST DAYS OF ARRIVALWhat to do at First?

Find ITTP Staff or your mentoring partner student

• During weekdays, try to find either of them; your mentor will send you to the Staff. You need to fill in some registrations, and find where you’ll going to be staying.

• During weekends, try to find your mentor. Since the Staff won’t be available dur-ing the weekends, please make sure you have contacted the Staff prior to your visit and notify them that you will have to arrive in the weekends.

※ Arriving in Weekdays in daytime at Daejeon, from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. is highly rec-ommended

FIRST DAYS OF ARRIVALHow to Reach Help?

If you are not quite sure about something, it is always best to ask to the Staff prior to your arrival. If you cannot reach them after your arrival, there are other sources that you can contact in case of emergency, too.

1. Your Embassy: Please write down your embassy phone number be-fore you come, so that you have a reliable source to ask help.

2. Your Partner Mentor Student: ITTP will link you to one of the stu-dents from the last batch (group of people who arrived one semes-ter before you). Maintain good connection with them and ask for their cellphone numbers (everyone has those)

3. Korean Mentors: ITTP has Korean mentors available. Call us in case of emergency. Our information is in mentor page, in ITTP website, http://ittp.kaist.ac.kr/mentor

FIRST DAYS OF ARRIVAL

What is Needed?

1. Some Cash (Korean Won): You cannot receive your scholar-ship until you make the bank account, and it takes quite time, up to a month. Thus, in order to make up a living, you should have some Korean Won with you.

※In the airport, only exchange money about a 100 dollars. The exchange rate in the airport is quite bad.

2. Emergency contact list: Since you are new here, you might encounter some difficulties when you hang around alone. In case you are lost, you might need some emergency contact list that you can call.

※Ask your Korean mentors their numbers when you arrive.
