New students are encouraged to arrive at least a week before the start of the semester to attend Orientation.
SolBridge Orientation is full of events and activities that will help you to adjust in the new academic and social environment you will be entering. It is a great opportunity to become familiar with SolBridge policies and procedures, curriculum choices, student services, other aspects of campus life, to make new friends; as well as the local neighborhood.The activities during these days will include social events, tours, information sessions and Introductory Korean Language classes. We have a dedicated team to make your arrival and stay here as stress-free as possible. Bring all the questions, doubts, concerns you have, and our experienced counselors will provide you with answers and solutions.You will also meet and get to know different people within the University—from management, faculty and students—and be assigned a Peer Group Leader who will help you get organized during your first semester at SolBridge.
Orientation is not just about settling into the SolBridge and Woosong environment. Our team will take you on a short tour of the city and suggest other famous towns and cities in the region that you may want to visit while in Korea.
We hope that your time spent studying at SolBridge is academically successful and culturally rewarding.
