Dear International Students,
This is Minah Park from the Student Affairs Division.
As you all may know, ‘Korean Thanksgiving Day(Chuseok)’ is one of the biggest and most important holidays in Korea. Family members from near and far come together to share food and stories and to give thanks to their ancestors.
In 2018, Chuseok Day falls on September 24. As the day before and the day after are also part of the holiday, this year’s full holiday period will take place for 3 days from September 24 to September 26.
In addition, please be informed that Korean thanksgiving hoilday is not a part of vacation although there will be no courses, therefore, temporary leave is not allowed during the said period, and we highly recommend you to inform housemasters of your absence if you plan to travel in Korea for a long time.
Please refer to the following information that may help you find out the way to have a great time with your friends during the holiday. Since most of the school amenities will be closed during the holiday, you’d better buy and stack up some food and snacks.
