 |
|
Just out of curiousity...has anyone who has been to an EPIK orientation arrived a few days early?
apparently the bus for the orientation leaves from Incheon airport, but we were thinking that arriving ahead of town and staying at a hotel for a few nights in Seoul might be a good idea to get situated. |

| Sounds like a great idea. Will also help to get that pesky quarantine out of the way. |

| Is the orientation in Seoul for sure? I hear it switches every intake period. |

| I'm actually thinking about heading over there a month early (around July 25th). I plan to meet up with some family and friends. I'd like to know more on this issue as well. |

in what sense? if you're talking about coming in general, you won't be situated until you get to your POE location and arrive at your apartment. If you're talking about getting to know korea a little, then it's ok but you'll have to deal with the expenses. |

| Several people did just that for the March orientation (when I arrived). Most just stayed at hotels and then traveled back to the Incheon airport on the given day to catch the bus to orientation. |

| Will they still reimburse you for the airfare if you arrive early? |
