I heard from people that got hired that the gov't programs changed the rules this year since all three are being combined in one orientation. For example, now you are allowed to leave the compound without getting threats of being thrown out, it's a week long instead of 5 days, etc.

However, I remember seeing a thread on here where the three orientation dates were posted for different time-->ie., you need to be in Korea for gepik/epik on Feb 17 and for SMOE on Feb 21st. Just curious what the real facts are...

SMOE has it's own orientation and the EPIK orientation has been divided into 3 separate sessions. The EPIK orientations are from Feb 17-Feb 25.

They have orientation details posted on the EPIK website.

I haven't heard that yet. Not saying it isn't true though.

The last GEPIK orientation was GEPIK only. I'm pretty sure the next EPIK orientation will be EPIK only.

Hm. That's weird. Are all three orientations are held at the same place this time? I'll check all the gov't websites.
