Buddy & NSG Program

Buddy Program

The Buddy Program is for new international exchange students. Students are placed in a group with a Korean buddy. The Buddy Program is a great way to meet Korean students and other international students early in the semester. Several programs and events are prepared for participants, including field trips.

New student Support Guide (NSG) Program

This program is specifically designed for degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate international students. New students are grouped with a KAIST senior and students will be contacted by the NSG. NSGs help new students with pre-arrival inquiries and other important matters at the beginning of the semester.
