As a Korean/international student, what do you think of current relations between Korean and international students in KAIST? Is there anything you would want to do to approach the other party?

Many of us, especially as KAIST students, are aware of the importance of direct, intentional focus for academic performance. For the most part, we understand focus as being in possession of a switch — the control of an ability that some have more than others to direct their entire conscious effort t

On the last day of the timely three-day weekend before finals, I made my way to Hanbat Arboretum. Had I lived in a campus dorm, it would have taken me a 20-minute bike ride through Gapcheon Stream and across Daedeok Bridge in front of the Shinsegae Mall.

As we approach summer and KAIST students slowly begin to shed their long padded jackets and sweatpants, we begin the annual tradition of becoming more self-aware of our physique.
