- [Coming Interview] Special Professor Shin Sang-hoon (Management 70, Current WKBL President, Former Shinhan Bank Presiden NEW
- There is an alumnus who walks between finance and sports, and two areas that at first glance feel like a distant field. He is an alumnus of Shin Sang-hoon (management 70), who served as the former president of Shinhan Bank and the CEO of Shinhan Financial Group. The alumnus of Shin Sang-hoon showed outstanding ability in the financial industry and contributed to the development of the financial industry. Meanwhile, interest and love for sports have been steady, contributing to the establishment of the professional basketball team of Shinhan Bank. Since July, he has been inaugurated as the president of the WKBL (Korea Women's Basketball Federation) and has led Korean women's basketball. Q. Hello, please introduce yourself briefly. Hello, I'm Shin Sang-hoon, a business administration graduate of my alma mater. After serving as president of Shinhan Bank and CEO of Shinhan Financial Holding Company, I'm currently serving as the 10th president of the Korean Women's Basketball Association. Q. When you were president of Shinhan Bank in 2004, you founded Shinhan Bank's women's basketball team and won the title for the sixth consecutive year, contributing to the golden age of women's basketball. You were elected president of the Korean Women's Basketball Federation (WKBL) in July this year. How do you feel and how do you feel about taking office? It is a great honor to be the president of the WKBL at a crossroads of Korean women's basketball. Even though I have put a lot of effort into revitalizing women's basketball since I was the president of Shinhan Bank before, I have not achieved my goal as a team owner, but I am grateful and feel a heavy responsibility to be given the opportunity to continue this again. Korean women's basketball ranked second in the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in 1967 and 1979, and was called an Asian powerhouse by winning a silver medal at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, and advancing to the semifinals at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. However, it is true that Korea has lost its position in domestic sports as well as international competitiveness. The women's basketball team showed sluggish performance in the recent three World Cups, and has weakened to the extent that it could not secure a berth in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The main goal of the Korean women's basketball team is to strengthen its foothold both at home and abroad. As a domestic professional sport, many fans are trying to make changes by making a competitive league where they can visit stadiums and following the flow of overseas basketball. Q. In what direction do you plan to lead WKBL? First of all, the WKBL introduced the Asian quota system in May in consultation with the Japanese Women's Professional Basketball W League. Through the draft between the two countries, the foreign player system will be resumed to enhance the diversity of players and increase the value of the league. Through this, we want to resolve the imbalance in terms of player supply, which has been deepened by the acceleration of regional disappearance and population decline. In addition, if the existing domestic players compete with foreign players for the main position and strengthen their power, we expect the league to become more dynamic and hot. In addition, through differentiated marketing and events, we aim to increase the number of spectators by about 30 percent from the current level within my term. To be greedy, we are trying to make the game more than 50 percent larger than before. The reality is that there are fewer opportunities for Seoul citizens to watch women's basketball because the club's hometown is all rural. Access is low because the nearest stadiums are Asan, Bucheon, and Incheon. With no Seoul-based teams or gyms, we expect that the number of spectators will increase if even big league games are held in Seoul. In addition, we will focus on expanding the base of women's professional basketball, raise social values, and promote the importance of women's sports along with the six clubs currently in operation. Q. What do you think needs to be solved to expand the base of women's basketball and strengthen its competitiveness? Through the Asian quarter system introduced earlier, I feel the need for various tasks along with strengthening the individual and team-level competitiveness of the team. First of all, I think that the revitalization of women's basketball in universities should open a way for women's basketball players to choose not only professional players but also physical education teachers and coaches. Youth development programs are also needed to discover excellent sports talents. The Superintendent of Education youth competitions should be held to continuously revitalize the game and create an environment in which women's basketball talents are nurtured. Q. What do you think is the biggest lesson you got from your alma mater? It is '智 of righteousness', which is also a teaching. The wisdom of humanity can be said to be a virtue that represents the essence of human mind, behavior, and wisdom. These teachings of my alma mater are still the basis of history. Q. Is there anything you want to say to 280,000 alumni and juniors? Korea's basketball community is too narrow and shallow compared to Japan. Likewise, alumni activities seem to have a low participation rate. I hope that 280,000 alumni will be interested in their alma mater and actively participate in alumni activities. Just as the basketball community needs to expand its base, I think it is urgent for alumni to expand their base. Q. Lastly, what is 'Sungkyunkwan University' to President Shin Sang-hoon? To me, Sungkyunkwan University is like 'the benefactor who raised me'.

- Kim Min-kyung (Management 22), classmate, Dutch exchange student story NEW
- ※ Departure on January 30, 2024, start of semester on February 5, end of semester on June 24 ■ visa application process It's convenient because you don't need to apply for a visa. I need to get an IND instead of a visa, but no place in Groningen issues an IND, so I got it from Zwolle. I visited twice in total, one time I went to register my photos and fingerprints and went to get a residence permit issued a few weeks later. The school next door, Hanje University, was able to make it in Groningen for the first few days of the semester (without having to go to Zwolle). After making an application with the city hall in advance, I need to go to the city hall and get the same BSN number as my country's resident registration number. The city hall is close to downtown Groningen. You can both get it after you arrive in the Netherlands, but you should be able to do the application before you enter the country. If you want to get it quickly, schedule an appointment online in advance. ■ flight ticket information I bought KLM Airlines for around W1.4 million round trip in mid-October. I got my international student card issued in October, and two luggage and one cabin were free and free of charge were available for change. ■ pre-departure preparations I brought a large carrier, a small carry-on carrier, and a backpack. Carriers on board were useful when traveling. They sell almost everything in the Netherlands and the price of clothes is okay, so you don't have to pack a lot. - Windbreakers, gloves, beanies: It was a must when it was cold in the beginning. Most of them cycle and even when it rains a lot, so a windbreaker with a hat was useful. - Bicycle Cellphone Holder: You can buy it even when you come, but you have to use it from the beginning when you don't know the way, so I think you'd better buy it from Korea. - Compressed pouch: It was useful not only for leaving the country, but also for traveling. - Contact lenses: There are many places that are sold in Europe, but I think it's more convenient to take what you used. There is a saying that they don't sell lens cleaning fluids, so I took a lot of them, but they also sell them in the Netherlands. - Cosmetics: K Beauty is the best. Bring lots of used cosmetics and basic products! - Grocery: There is an Asian mart called Amazing Oriental near the school, so you can get almost everything. I think you only need to bring instant rice, seaweed, and side dishes in packs to eat in the beginning after arrival. - Shower Filter: The water quality in the Netherlands is good, so everyone is drinking tap water. I didn't need a shower filter in the Netherlands. I think it would be good to bring something to use when traveling. (I took it with me, but I never used it because it was annoying.) - Anti-theft strap: nowhere near as cheap as Daiso. Groningen is not a travel destination, so I felt there were few pickpockets, but make sure you use the anti-theft strap on your phone when you travel to Amsterdam and other Europe. ▲ Groningian life ■ dormitory application I applied on the SSH site in November. I have to choose at a fixed time like ticketing, but I recommend you apply in PC room like me because popular dormitories are highly competitive. ■ enrollment in a course You can keep the class you want through the school site before the deadline. However, you usually apply for tutorials in the first week of the class. You can think of it as a team project in one class, but you have to apply quickly when the tutorial application is open to do the time you want. There is a lot of competition in applying for tutorials, so be careful. ■ Class progress and evaluation methods Student number, subject/program name, (evaluation: 1-10 points) EBB686A05, Comparative Country Studies (8점) EBB065A05, Human Resource Management for BE (9점) EBB062A05, Economics of Banking (7점) EBB635C05, International Business Law for IB (7점) Groningen University had a semester divided into two blocks, Block A and Block B, and had a two-week vacation from late March to early April. One class is divided into a lecturing and tutorials. Recture: The way the professor teaches, it is similar to the normal classes in Korea. It is okay to skip the attendance check because you do not check, but it can be a problem when studying for the exam. Tutorial: It consists of around 20 students, and we divided into groups to conduct a team project. It varies from class to class, but usually, a tutor explained the expected questions of the test, conducted a team project, and took a Q&A session. There were also many classes where you had to give a group presentation every week. It is recommended to attend tutorials because attendance is often reflected in your grades and if you miss the team project/presentation, it may damage your team members. At first, it was a lot of pressure to make a weekly presentation in front of foreigners, but I got used to it. If you don't want to make a presentation, check the class plan to see if you have a presentation. Not all members in the group have to make a presentation, so I think you can coordinate your opinions, such as taking on other tasks during meetings between teams. Your attendance at tutorials, group assignments, and exams will all be reflected. Some classes even gave you bonus points for participation in tutorials. As an extra, Dutch people give direct feedback without giving back. It's not meant to hurt your feelings, but in the hope that the other person will develop with accurate feedback, so it will help you if you don't get hurt and use it as a springboard for your growth. ▲ (left) Kegenhoff Tulip Festival | (right) Travel to Spain ■ a dormitory/dormitory - Dorm Name: Moesstraat 8, Location: Suburban, Cost: 465 EUR/Month, Rating: Very Good All of them were single rooms, sharing a kitchen and bathroom. (On the 0th floor, there are 2 rooms with private bathrooms.) The room-to-room soundproofing was good, but the noise between the room and the hallway was good. I recommend a quiet inner room away from the kitchen. My room is on the corridor (step) side, so I could hear the noise from other floors, which was a little uncomfortable. Each room is different in size and the sink is different, so please check out the SSH site before applying for a dormitory. I was really, really satisfied with the Moestrat dormitory I chose. Everything was great. It only had about 30 people, so we hung out together. There were about 7 Koreans among them. Other dormitories tend to be large and already have a lot of people from their own countries, so each country tends to play together. Another big advantage of the Groningen dorm is that each room has its own refrigerator. It is halfway between the city center and the Groningen University Zernike campus, so I think the location is best because it is 5 minutes away from Groningen Nord Station. The Moestrat 8 dormitory also has a garden, so I had a lot of fun with the cats that used to appear in the dormitory and my friends. There is a pretty park right in front of the dorm. I went for a walk, saw colorful flowers, and went on a picnic with my friends in spring. The park lake is beautiful when the sun is setting. I often went for a walk, enjoyed relaxing and healing by myself. It was a place I loved. https://blog.naver.com/myk31_/223253112831 This is my blog with information such as pros and cons, how to apply, and prices of each type of Groningen dormitory. Please refer to it. ▲ (left) dormitory party | (right) dormitory view ▲ (left) Dormitory tapas party | (right) Dormitory garden cat 'Chess' ■ cultural and leisure activities I joined ESN, which hosts an exchange student program in my region. It was nice to be able to get a Ryanair discount when you travel to Europe if you join ESN. I joined ESN introduction week (paid), and I was able to make many friends by participating in various programs during the first week of February. I think most of my friends who came here to exchange did it. There are Groningen University and Hanje University in Groningen, which is close to the Zernike campus where the business school building is located and Hanje University also used the Sh dormitory to hang out together. If you want to find more information about Hroningen, search 'Groningen' or 'Hanje.' There was a sports center called ACLO, and I was able to play many sports such as swimming, yoga, squash, tennis, ballet, fencing, health, judo, Zumba, and aerobic exercise at an affordable price. (About 40,000 won per 6 months). I loved riding my bike to the sports center with my friends, playing badminton, basketball, and swimming together. In Korea, it was nice to try sports that were expensive or that I couldn't try because I wasn't around easily with a subscription. Make sure you try it. ▲ (left) Squash at Sports Center ACLO | (right) ESN Band Night Event I traveled a lot on weekends and between blocks a and b, and I traveled a lot for a month after the end of the semester. You can visit Germany or Belgium even if you have a little time, so don't think you don't have time and go there diligently. It is a good opportunity to tour all of Europe. I used Schiphol Airport and Eindhoven Airport a lot. There were many low-cost airlines in Eindhoven, so I used them a lot. It was hard for me because Groningen is located in the north of the Netherlands and it is far from the airport and Amsterdam. However, I was able to travel to other countries by using the Flick bus departing from Groningen. Buses and trains in Europe are much more expensive as the date approaches, so it's better to book in advance. - appropriate travel time by country Iceland: It's hard to see the aurora after April, so it's good to go quickly in February or March Germany: You can buy daily necessities cheaply, so you can go shopping at the beginning of the exchange Italy: I went to Italy in July and had a hard time because of the heat. Go before it gets hot Spain: I went there in April and the weather was nice. The weather in the Netherlands is not good until then, so it is good to go to a warm country at this time of the year Netherlands and Northern Europe: The weather is good to travel after May-June. However, if you have anything to book since it's peak season, do it in advance. ▲ (left) Iceland Travel-Aurora | (right) London Travel ■ Pre-entry Preparations I used Post NL to send the package to Korea once, and when I returned home, I took two big carriers and a backpack. (It's too heavy, so it's hard if there's no one to help me.) I returned my bike the day I returned it, and I returned my residence permit by mail. I donated utensils, cleaning tools and household items that I couldn't bring to a place called momami. ■ general review It was a dreamy six months. I was an exchange student who left without much expectation, and it was my first time in Europe, but after the exchange ended, it was such a valuable experience that I wondered why I was worried about it before I left. The Dutch lifestyle suited me well. I liked the life where I rode my bike every day and felt nature, stayed in the dorm with my friends from all over the country, made big and small episodes, spent time sweating at sports centers with my friends whenever I had time, and cooked with what I had shopped for every day. While living in Europe, I have come to focus on myself rather than on others, and I have found that there are so many people in the world, so many different options and ways of life, and there is no right answer to them. I learned something I wouldn't have known if I hadn't exchanged. In the beginning, I was often depressed because the weather was cold, windy, rainy, and not many friends. In addition, I took a lot of classes, so I had a hard time going to school all week and riding my bike in the rain and wind. I also missed my Korean friends. In the beginning, I could not easily reach my friends from other countries because I had a vague fear of foreigners, but I had no more happiness than that because I had the courage to approach them and get close to them. It remains a good memory to visit my friend's dormitory and make food for my country, or go to Hroningen and other small Dutch cities with my dorm friends. When I returned home, we were close enough to see each other off and say goodbye to tears at the airport. Even after returning to Korea, it is the driving force of my life that I have friends who I like all over the world, that I can look forward to meeting them again, and that I have made precious and never-before-seen memories. It was nice to be able to travel to many countries and cities in Europe for 6 months. At first, everything was not easy, including the European system and transportation, but later, I got used to it enough to go on a long trip alone without any problems. I think it's a great difference between just traveling and living abroad as an exchange student. I learned that living abroad as a student is a valuable opportunity. All the Koreans I met while traveling often left their jobs or traveled during vacation, but they all envied me as an exchange student. There were many schools that were difficult to go to. When preparing for an exchange student, you may wonder if you should give up on other things, but I recommend you to go even for a short time if you can. I hope you don't have too much expectation before going to an exchange. Being abroad does not mean that you are happy unconditionally, it is up to you. It would be nice to think about what you want to do, such as traveling, making friends, and taking a break, and to freely manage the time you have as you want as an exchange student.

The proud Sungkyunkwan Award is given to alumni who have raised the honor of their alma mater and Chongchang Association based on their outstanding leadership and the teaching spirit of our university. On this day, our university's Chongchang Association (Chairman Kim Sung-jip) announced that it has selected a total of three people, including Kim Dong-pil, chairman of Nex Farm Korea, Lee Kyu-yong, and lawyer Kwon Tae-jin, as winners of the "2024 Proud Sungkyunkwan Award." Chairman Kim Dong-pil was recognized for his contribution to the development of the national economy by establishing NexPalm Korea in 1995. In addition, he served as the president of the business school alumni for four years from 2018 to 2022, taking the lead in developing his alma mater and enhancing the status of the alumni association by recognizing the fund for the establishment of Sungkyunkwan University's 2nd Management Hall, the business school development fund, and the fund for the establishment of the Global Center.

- Kim Sung-jip (Management 74, Chairman of BaseHD) Alumni attends the three major events before Trump's inauguration
- "I will leave for the U.S. on May 18 and return on May 23. I was told that my family was the only one invited to the ball." Kim Seong-jip, 74, an alumnus of Business Administration, said in an interview with the Herald Business Administration at his office in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, on May 8. An alumnus of Kim Sung-jip will attend the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump scheduled for the 20th (local time) and the ball to be held on the evening of the 20th. Chairman Kim is the only Korean businessman to be invited to the inauguration and ball together. Chairman Kim will attend the ball with his spouse and two sons. In this regard, an alumnus of Kim Sung-jip said, "I have been doing business in and out of the United States, and I have had a particular long-term relationship with Trump Jr., President Trump's son," and stressed, "I recently received an opinion from Trump Jr. that I am grateful for establishing a business relationship in a consistent manner." Kim Seong-jip, alumni of BASEHD Co., Ltd., is an entrepreneur who runs Keumyang International, the largest wine importer in Korea, and Camu E&C, a construction company that runs a PC (precast concrete) business. In particular, Keumyang is well known for handling wine products produced by "Trump Winery" in Korea. For him, wine became a good medium to open a door with his partner at business meetings. "It's like giving wine produced in the year of his birth to a business partner or wine produced in the year of his wedding to coincide with his wedding anniversary," Chairman Kim said. "We also had a hard time getting wine produced in 1941 when he was born to Edwin Fuehler, founder of the Heritage Foundation." "We have been recognized for its quality as we used it to build domestic and foreign distribution centers and factories as a PC business," he said. "If the situation in Ukraine stabilizes and the Middle East instability is resolved in the future, it is expected to be used at various post-war recovery business sites." Inside and outside the business community, Kim Sung-jip is known as a humble manager and a wide-footed businessman. He always bow his head 90 degrees to his employees and always use honorifics even at the end of his career. Most of the secretaries who accompany him are close enough to spend a long time with Chairman Kim. When employees are in a difficult situation, they spend their own money to help them. Since 2023, he has been inaugurated as the 39th president of Sungkyunkwan University, his alma mater, and is trying to contribute to the education of the younger generation. He said, "I try to provide a lot of support for student activities including school festivals. I am busy with various activities, but I am working with the mindset of contributing to various parts of society." He has been active as a director of the club in 2008, a permanent director in 2010, a vice president in 2018, and a senior vice president in 2022. In addition, he has donated 300 million won to his alma mater and the club, and has been actively supporting the development of his alma mater and alumni society. Chairman Kim's management philosophy is based on his consistent attitude. It is a principle that he has adhered to for a long time to treat the other person in the same manner as he did at the beginning. "Even a person who is reluctant to me is open to me when I treat him sincerely," he said. "If you always give me honest trust with a consistent mind, I think your business partners will also like it." His message amid the recent turmoil at home and abroad is also in line with this. "We can overcome it if we work hard in our own place even in difficult conditions," he said. "It is a difficult time for our people in various situations, but if we work hard as we have always done, we will be able to overcome it." Meanwhile, Trump's inauguration ceremony and ballroom, which will be attended by alumni of Kim Sung-jip, require invitations from key Republican officials or the inauguration committee of the president-elect. As such, the process to attend is considered a tricky one. In Korea, Shinsegae Group Chairman Chung Yong-jin, who is known to have attended the inauguration ceremony, will attend Trump's inauguration ceremony and ball by himself, while SPC Group Chairman Heo Young-in and SM Group Chairman Woo Oh-hyun will attend the inauguration ceremony after being invited by the Korea-U.S. Alliance Friendship Association.

- [Student Interview] Yun Ho-joon (Management 20) _Interview on the election of the 25th President of the Student Council
- 1. Hello. It's so nice to meet you like this! First, please briefly introduce yourself and introduce your student council. Hello, I'm Yun Ho-jun, the 20th president of the business administration department, and I'm the student council of the 25th business school of Sungkyunkwan University. The 25th business school student council, Flight Luck was launched under the slogan "Our Footsteps to Be Engraved in the Sky." Like the beautiful flight luck carved in the sky, I would like to go up higher and engrave beautiful footsteps with my business classmates. 2. What made you run for president of the student council? I entered the school during the COVID-19 period, and I did not experience school life properly during the first and second grades. After being discharged from the military in 2024, I served as an executive member of the student council and was in charge of large-scale festivals like the Geumjandi Cultural Festival, Daedongje, and ESKARA. I conducted various activities for the welfare of my classmates, such as snack distribution, campus attack, and affiliate projects. In this process, I became interested in and affection for my business school, and I decided to run for the president of the student council to further enrich the university life of my classmates by planning and realizing various projects for them. 3. What are the introductions and notable contents of future student council activities? With "exchange" as the key keyword, Flight Luck plans various projects by dividing them into exchanges within the business school, exchanges outside the business school, and exchanges with the student council. - an exchange within a business school Starting with an orientation for successful applicants in the Department of Business Administration and Global Business Administration, we are planning a program for continuous exchange between the two departments. In addition, we are preparing a variety of projects for students in the business school, including snack distribution business, career concerts and mentoring, interview contents with professors, and management academic festivals. - an exchange outside the business school We are planning an event for academic and cultural exchange with other departments other than the business school. As business administration is a study that practically combines various theories, I thought it was essential to exchange with classmates with various backgrounds and knowledge. Therefore, I would like to provide a place for exchange to interact with other departments. - an exchange with the student council We plan to promote two-way communication by expanding offline and online communication channels during the term of office. We would like to actively share opinions with classmates through regular offline communication channels and establish a Kakao Talk channel for the business school student council to achieve more efficient and active communication by introducing FAQ production and chatbot. 4. What do you think is the most important thing while leading the student council? My most important value is "cooperation." I am deeply aware that the participation and cooperation of all members are important to successfully realize the various projects and events currently being planned by Flight Attacks. Flight luck will do its best to actively communicate and cooperate with not only the members of the student council's executive department but also with the business school classmates, and to realize a business school that everyone creates together. 5. What is the last thing you want to say to your school and business classmates? I hope to listen to your fellow students with an open mind and move forward to a better future together with my business classmates. I ask for your interest and support in various activities and projects that will take place in the future, and I will always be by your side. Thank you.

- Conducting a briefing session on the undergraduate multi-degree program at the College of Business
- At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, an undergraduate multi-degree program briefing session between the Emlyon Business School in France and the University of South Carolina and Darla Moore School of Business was successfully held at Sungkyunkwan University International Hall 9B208. The briefing session introduced in detail the multi-degree program of the emlyon Business School, which has strengths in global business, start-up, and innovation, and the Darla Moore School of Business, which specializes in international management and management strategies. Students will be offered the opportunity to form an international network and strengthen their global competitiveness by obtaining two degrees at the same time if they meet the requirements for graduation from each university. At the briefing session, the structure of the degree completion, application qualifications, and selection procedures for each university were specifically guided, and students received high attention. Currently, 7 students from the Emlyon Business School are participating in the double-degree program at this school's global business department, and one student from the business department and the global business department will be sent to the Emlyon Business School for the first semester of 2025. In particular, students from the double-degree program at the Emlyon Business School in France also attended the briefing session to vividly introduce the internship program and Lyon, where the university is located. This multi-degree program provides students with opportunities to grow into global talents with international academic experience and practical competency and will greatly contribute to strengthening job competitiveness.

- Sungwoo Jang (Business Administration '19), story of his exchange program in Belgium
- ※ Departure: February 2, 2023 Spring Semester: February 13, 2023 – June 28, 2023 Fall Semester: September 25, 2023 – February 3, 2024 ◈ Visa Application Procedure I applied for a visa by referring to exchange student blogs on Naver and the Belgian Embassy website. The required documents include the visa application form, passport, two passport photos, proof of payment for processing fees, school-related admission documents (acceptance letter), proof of financial capability, a criminal record certificate, travel insurance, and a health certificate. It is essential to check these thoroughly. Once you decide to participate in an exchange program, get a health checkup first. Approved hospitals for health checkups at the time were Severance Hospital, Yeouido St. Mary’s Hospital, and Busan Paik Hospital. Since the process is costly and involves many tests, it’s better to start early. The other documents can be prepared on your own, and the visa application form explains what to include on the embassy website or relevant blogs. Proof of financial capability can be tricky. If family members (3rd or 4th-degree relatives) cannot provide proof, you need to remit funds to the foreign school and obtain the related documents. In my case, it was delayed slightly because of Christmas, but after contacting the person in charge, they provided the account details and amount. After entering Belgium and opening a bank account, the funds are transferred back to you. The Belgian Embassy is located in Itaewon, and you need to make a reservation before visiting. Be cautious because if your documents are incomplete, you’ll need to make another reservation to apply again. Double-check everything beforehand. Since emails are not always promptly read, send one first if it’s urgent. The time it takes for the visa to be issued is random. Some people receive theirs quickly, but I got mine just three days before departure. As your passport is submitted and returned later, it’s better to apply as early as possible. ◈ Flight Ticket Information I purchased my outbound flight ticket using mileage points three months before departure. ◈ Pre-departure Preparations There are many blogs and forums that provide information on essential items for living abroad. It’s better to purchase small amounts frequently rather than all at once. You can buy necessities gradually through platforms like Daiso or Coupang. Packing everything at the last minute can lead to forgetting important items, which can cause anxiety. Avoid bringing too many clothes, as it can be challenging to pack them when returning. In Europe, you can find affordable clothing stores like Primark, so there’s no need to overpack. ◈ Dormitory Application KU Leuven's Brussels campus does not provide on-campus dormitories, so I arranged accommodation through a private dormitory company called Brik. At the time of my application, I needed to apply with a roommate, so I chose a flat where I had a private room but shared the bathroom and kitchen. One downside is the difficulty in obtaining accurate information about the house and landlord. While there are several platforms, be cautious of scams, especially on Facebook. If you're at the Leuven campus, you can apply for dormitories in advance by selecting from options on their website. ◈ Course Registration Submit the ISP form via the school website. You can also drop courses later by submitting a request. Attend classes first and decide afterward. ◈ Class Conduct and Evaluation Courses for Spring 2023: Research Methods 1, Project Management Courses for Fall 2023: European Institutions, Entrepreneurship and Business Planning, International Management The classes were a mix of online and offline formats, with assessments based on quizzes and final exams. Quizzes were conducted online.

Four people shared the kitchen and bathroom, but I had my own private room. If dormitory options are available, it’s recommended to choose them. In Leuven, I stayed at Waterview Residence, where I had a private room and bathroom, sharing only the kitchen. There was a supermarket downstairs, making it a convenient and comfortable living environment. ◈ Cultural and Leisure Activities At the Brussels campus, interactions among students were not very active. Unless you joined a club or participated in activities individually, it was challenging to build close relationships. The school did not host many events. In contrast, Leuven had many events and vibrant club activities. Brussels is convenient for traveling, as it is close to neighboring countries like France and the Netherlands. Day trips to Germany are also possible, and train tickets can be booked in advance for convenience. While buses are also an option, they take more time. ◈ Pre-arrival Preparations I purchased my return flight ticket six months before departure by using the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) to get a discount through Kisses Air. I booked a LOT Polish Airlines flight with a layover in Warsaw. Using the ISIC, I was able to check in two pieces of luggage, which made it easier to bring more items. To make moving more convenient, it’s best to minimize the amount of belongings you bring. After cleaning the flat or dormitory, the check-out process is completed once the supervisor inspects the room. It’s necessary to book the check-out date and time in advance. There were no additional documents required before arrival. ◈ Overall Review While most exchange students go abroad for just one semester, I ended up staying for a year. This one-year exchange program felt both long and short, but it was a great opportunity for me to gain numerous valuable experiences. Belgium is a convenient country for traveling to other nations, and there is less racial discrimination than expected, making it a pleasant place to live. I believe it is a country well-suited for living. Original Text Source: Sungkyun Webzine, Issue 548 https://webzine.skku.edu/skkuzine/section/knowledge06.do?mode=list&articleNo=120967
