guide to summer school in South Korea : Inha University [2012년 여름 학교 : 인하 대학교]


lol, finally I am here
anticipating for many many question about my summer school experience earlier this year
I planned to post about it before, 
BUT yeaaah I use my laziness as an excuse ㅋㅋㅋ
but finally I am here, hoping that my blog gain more popularity :3

first of all, here is the web link of the university :
click click click!!!

I'll post according to frequently asked question:

Q1:   where did you find this opportunity?
A1:  hey, I frequently visit my university international office's page, for Airlangga University student click here [IOP's facebook page], I believe all universities out there have their own version of this office, I've heard one from ITS, UI, Undip and also UGM ^^, find it now!!! 

Q2:   when will the announcement of the summer school activity announced?
A2:   hmmm from my experience, the announcement out around March, so just check the Inha web link around that month ;)

Q3:   how much the cost for the summer school? is it expensive?
A3:  summer school program in inha university had two programs (but it might change every year), which is track A program and track B program, track A costed 550USD and track B costed 1000USD, hey! it's not expensive at all for a summer school, based on my researched it is the cheapest summer school program I knew, the other university costed around 2000USD or more :o


[the dorm entrance]

Q4:   do they provide us meal? accomodation?
A4:  of course!!! they provide us breakfast and dinner, but for lunch we have to buy a meal coupon *since my term where on Ramadhan, I never bought that meal coupon, I was fasting ._.v*, and for the accomodation, they provide us with a beautiful dorm room, it's for 4 person, and we had a television, fridge, microwave (each one in one floor), and they provide computer room (it's the place where my blog posts born when I was there ㅋㅋㅋ), and also fitness room, for you who want to maintain your hot body ffufffuffu ;;)


[the messy version of our room]

[I was just cleaned my errr...desk, wanted to show off ._.v]


[our meal xD]

and also! they picked us from airport to the dorm, since it's pretty far, but if you choose taxi it will cost around 50.000KRW yeah around 50USD... and when the program end, they will take us to the airport, just if you're not extend your stay :D


[the university garden]

Q5:   how was the payment?
A5:  okay the schedule are; the registration started and ended around April, and the payment ended around May, so, just collect your money from now, if you want to join the program, SAVE! SAVE!!! *hold yourself from cute clothes, and mouthwatering food for awhile mwihihi*

Q6:    how about the airplane fee?
A6:   [for Indonesian only] I use AirAsia-X services, I bought the tickets around May, it costed around 6million rupiah *include the baggage*, and from what I heard my friends used Garuda Indonesia services and it costed the same, with BETTER services *they provide meal, even blanket, and the best part NO TRANSIT* but they bought the ticket earlier, I guess it's around April or something.

Q7:   so the total cost is?
A7:   put it in 15million rupiah *hmmm, just use your allowance wisely ;;), everything in Korea are expensive in my opinion, except for make ups and K-POP cd albums ._.v*

Q8:    what was your acctivity?
A8:   SCHOOL!!! study!!! listen, feel, analyze!!! it's a new place and experience!!! socialize from other students from all around the world :D, and THE MOST IMPORTANT!!! spent your time FANGIRLING, if you lucky enough there are so many free concert *which you wont find in your home country*, xixixi *details I'll post it separately in other post*

[me in hanbok, during the experience Korean culture class]


[during the mask dance performance, on the korean culture class]


[with our lecturer]

Q9:     how was the weather?
A9:   it was summer baby, so it's totally hot there, if you live in Indonesia, ESPECIALLY Surabaya, probably it will be the same. But honestly, for end of July the weather won't be really hot, it was like '시원해', but in the early August it was extremely hot and dry, so prepare yourself *but fyi, I never miss fasting, except for the 'period' ._.v, and after the extreme hot weather, there will be like hard pouring rain, HARD! literally!!! I was upset, the rain is so extreme different with the rain in Indonesia, no wonder that Korean collects cute rainboots

Q10:   how did you get your VISA?
A10:  VISA, hmmm extremely important, you couldn't visit Korea if you don't have this, event you had your airplane tix, etc. 

[for Surabaya] the travel agent helped me, I was helped by 'Titian Ivan travel agent located in Kendangsari, [CLICK]' it costed around 500k rupiah. 
you need to provide:
1. your parents permission letter [case for me, even I am not an underage, I need this]
2. letter from your parents workplaces, stated that they work there, but it's fine of you're parents retired already
3. if your parents runs a business, you need to provide the SIUP and NPWP
4. your parents bank account copy *to prove that they able help you financially*
5. a certain size of photo *the size is very important, if it's not match, the embassy may reject your application*
6. YOUR PASSPORT !!!

misc: since I attended summer school, I also provide the letter from Inha *which they will mail you* and the statement that you're still a student in your university *you may ask it from the academic of your faculty*, I also attached my flight booking paper *to reinforce my arrival and my departure time*.
misc:




[the course choice, pick one elective course only]

- the school starts at 9 a.m and ends at 4 p.m, after that you're free, wherever you wanna go, but the dorm closed at 12 p.m *I was locked outside once, read my experience here : CLICK*
- the transportations there are so easy there are buses and subways, you can go anywhere
- Inha university is located in Incheon not in Seoul, in takes like about 1hour to Seoul by subways
- just bring the subway map everywhere and you won't get lost
- inha also provide us with fieldtrip yey!!! *to certain places, might change*

  4. wah enak bener nih, gw juga pengen punya rencana buat summer school ke sana
    itu dana 15 mil itu dana lo sendiri atau ada dapat dari lain?
    trus kira2 worth it ga nih summer schoolnya? tks

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. hello

      15jt ya dari dana sendiri, waktu itu nyoba2 kirim permohonan sponsor ke beberapa perusahaan, tapi pada ditolakin semua :(

      worth it ngga nya kembali ke diri masing2 buat aku pribadi sih worth it, karena menurutku pasti banyak yang bisa di ambil dari sebuah exchange,
      tapi jujur aja mungkin aku masih belum maksimal

      gitu aja sih ^^

      good luck

  5. hai mau tanya di web INHA yang sekarang pricenya sekitar $630, apa itu sudah termasuk tiket pesawat? soalnya di webnya tertulis AKOMODASI (don't know exactly akomodasi selama disana atau dihitung dari Indonesia juga)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. hello ^^

      err $630 itu rasanya ya akomodasi means kamu tinggal di asrama dan dapet makan gitu

      tiket pesawat pastinya bayar sendiri *sudah dijelasin kan di postingan di atas*
      thanks

      good luck

    2. mau bantu juga :) aku langsung buka website hostelnya sih.. soalny kalo aku buka di hostelbookers.com / yg lain, mereka minta bayar dulu dgn jumlah sekian, pake kartu kredit. Kalo buka dari websitenya langsung, paling mereka cuma minta bukti tiket pesawat dan kita tinggal bayar pas kita udah sampe di hostelnya.

      Buat cari hostelnya, kamu cari aja pake google map, ketiknya nama tempat + hostel (mis. hongdae hostel/dongdaemun hostel) disitu bakal langsung ada posisi hostel + websitenya :3 Aku juga baru booking hostel buat 3 hari selesai INHA di Hongdae lol
