Dean of Gwanaksa
Professor Kim, Tae WanKim, Tae
Greetingsfrom the Dean
Recently, there has been a growing concern of individualism among
college students. Gone are the passion and challenging spirits of a
youthful community and the college has been reduced to a mere
stepping stone to get a good job. Older generations are not free
from this criticism, either. They have taught young students to
compete for survival and indicated that getting into top universities
is the only way to ensure success.
This current situation urges the university education to put
emphasis not only on students' creative knowledge but also on
building their character to be mature civilians in the society.Thus,
we at Gwanaksa have been striving to ful� l such demands.
Right now, Gwanaksa is accommodating more than 5,000 residents
at the undergraduate, graduate, and family housing facilities. The
graduate students housing facilities, especially, have been well-
received by residents and others for its modern facilities and
e� cient operation, since its reconstruction in 2010. Moreover, this
housing has been operated by very e� cient management systems.
Aside from improvements in our facility, we also put a lot of time
and energy in providing a variety of education, cultural, and sports
programs to residents. Moreover, its global and multi-cultural living
environment that includes students from more than 80 countries
should provide its residents a good international perspective and
resources for international networking.
This era and the world demand talents with intellectual excellence,
creativity, and warm humanity. We hope that you can grow into
such leaders with the assistance of Gwanaksa.
Welcome to Gwanaksa!

Basic Korean Manners
Courtesy When Speaking
In Korea there are some de�nite di�erences in the way
you speak and address people, depending on their
age. In the case of your roommate and classmates, the
older person will call the younger by their name, but
the younger person should a�x hyeong (oppa) or
nuna (onni) to the end of the older person's name when
addressing them. Furthermore, the younger person
should use more polite speech when addressing the
older person.
Dorm life Tips
35
Taking O� Your ShoesIn Korea, people take o� their shoes when entering a
home. There is an entrance area inside the front door
of Korean homes, where you should take o� and leave
your shoes.
Being Polite to Your Roommate• Use Earphones
When your roommate is in the room it's best to use
earphones. What sounds beautiful to you may be only
a nuisance to your roommate.
• Keep your voice down when you are speaking on the
phone
When your roommate is in, please talk on the phone
quietly and avoid using video-chat (Skype). Please be
reminded that it is always best to go to common area.
Location of the Public Telephones: Second basement
of Gwanaksa Blg. 900 (Between GS25 & Double S)
• Even a pea is not too small to share!
Koreans will generally share what they eat with those
around them. When you're eating something in
your room, why don't you try o�ering some to your
roommate? If you do, it will help you become closer
with your roommate, expecially if he/she is Korean!
• Refrain from bringing your friends too much
You and your roommate have the equal rights to your
shared room. You should respect your roommates'
rights of the room. It is recommended not to bring
visitors into the room as much as possible without
your roomates' approval. Please be aware that bringing
friends of the opposite sex can be expecially a large
inconvenience for your roommate.
• Pay attention to your personal belongings.
Pay attention to your personal belongings especially
when you put your things in public commodities such
as the refrigerator, to prevent them from being stolen.
Taking a bus around the dormitoryBecause SNU is quite large, there are places that
are di�cult to get to on foot. There are many buses
on campus, and they o�er a convenient way to get
around.
• Transportation Card (“T-Money”)
Most Koreans use a transportation card when they
ride the bus or take the subway. Not only is a card
convenient, fares are also discounted by 100 won.
when you pay with a card instead of cash. Using a
card also allows you to transfer between the subways
and buses, or between buses. For example, if you are
coming to school by subway and pay cash, you would
have to pay both the subway and bus fare. If you pay
by transportation card, however, you would not have
to pay when transferring to a local bus.
Also the functionality of a tra�c card is built into
SNU student ID cards, and they can be used just as
the transportation cards with the same usage. If you
do not have a student ID card, you can purchase
a transportation card in subway stations, in many
convenience stores, or in the dorm store.
You can ride the bus, subway, and many taxis using
your transportation card. After purchasing a card
you will need to charge it in a subway station or
convenience store. You can also charge your card at
the dorm store. When you swipe your card as you get
on the bus, you will hear “Gamsahamnida!” (Thank
you.), indicating that your card has been accepted. Your
remaining balance will also be displayed on the card
reader screen. If, however, your card balance is too low,
you will hear “Janaegi bujokhamnida!” (You need to
charge it.) If your card is rejected, you will have to pay
cash. You can check your remaining card balance any
place where transportation cards are sold.
