Bombarded with assignments and exams, as well as various club activities, KAIST students often find it difficult to spare time for volunteering. For students who are not members of volunteering clubs such as Didimdol, summer vacation is one of the only times during which students can regularly render community services. Several outreach programs and organizations are introduced below.

Giving private tutoring to middle and high school students over summer and winter vacation is typical for many KAIST students. Because tutors from prestigious universities such as KAIST are in high demand, getting a tutee is not difficult for KAIST students, especially in Daejeon. Rates are incredibly high for a part-time job, with at least 25,000 Korean Won per hour. Compared to other short-term part-time jobs during summer or winter vacation, such as serving at restaurants, private tutoring is often called a “honey” part-time job that requires little physical labor but pays well.

Getting good grades, participating in exciting club activities, and having a romantic relationship are three elements that many students seek for in their college experience. Indeed, each student has different priorities and expects different things from college, and the three do not have to be all present to have a happy, satisfying college life. For instance, some consider love a luxury or a waste of time, money, and emotions. Nevertheless, love, the most craved human desire, continues to excite, stimulate, and arouse our feelings. Couples at KAIST are largely divided into two classes: long-distance couples and campus couples. Advantages and disadvantages of each relationship have been examined.

The Genius is a reality television show in which participants from various backgrounds compete in a survival game. Every round consists of several games that primarily test players’ intelligence and luck. Despite being a cable television show, The Genius has built a large fan base over two seasons especially among college students, recording a maximum viewer rating of 2.6%. Not long after the show has gone off the air, several KAIST students decided to produce the KAIST version of the show, “The Genius At KAIST.” With great expectations, KAISTians are eagerly waiting for the first broadcast of the show to see who “the genius” of geniuses at KAIST is. The KAIST Herald met up with the public relations team of “The Genius At KAIST” to find out more about the production and contents of the program.

Over 40 students have been asked to leave the room in the first class of the first day of school. Among these were 20 Korean and 6 international hoogies (a term that refers to students who enter KAIST in the fall semester) of the entering class of 2013. While problems of student overflows and course authorizations recur at the beginning of every semester, situations were more serious this time: one-third of the entire hoogie freshman population have been rejected from the Calculus II class, a mandatory basic course that all freshmen are entitled to take in their second semester.In fact, the issue was first brought up late into the previous se
