Insurance:
Students are strongly advised to purchase health insurance before coming to Korea. Student Health Insurance is mandatory for foreign students. The cost for one semester is approximately 20,000 won. However, this insurance covers only about 45% of the cost incurred, so the student must pay the remaining 55%. Furthermore, the Student Health Insurance does not cover major illness of accidents.
