Frequently Asked Questions
DORM F.A.Q.
When will I find out about my dormitory application?
Dormitory assignments are not made until the current semester ends! Only after current students have moved out can we start figuring out how many rooms are available. We will make dormitory assignments about 1-2 months before the start of the semester, and we will send you an email with the information. Globall Hall residents will also receive an invoice to pay about one month prior to the start of the semester. Other dormitories must be paid the first week of the semester by wire transfer in Korea.
Can I check into the dormitory early?
The short answer is "no". There is no early check in for any of our dormitories. Technically speaking, exchange student check in is "early" check in as regular HUFS students are only allowed to check in over the weekend a few days later.
Can I choose my roommate?
We will send out a form by email asking if you have any roommate preference a couple months before the semester begins when we are working on dormitory assignments. While we try our best to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee any particular roommate request.
How do I pay for the dorm?
We only accept wire transfers for dorm payments. This is a very common way to pay for goods and services in Korea. You can wire money from your bank account in your home country to the bank account we provide you. Or, if you have brought cash intending to pay the dorm fee, you can visit our bank on campus (Woori Bank) and they can assist you in making a payment to our bank account number. You will get a receipt that you can bring to our office as proof-of-payment.
