Info

Students in the dormitory may be asked to take a health check-up from the University Health Service Center at the beginning of the semester. Students do not need to make an appointment unless you want to see a dentist. Gynecology and dental care are not covered by the payment. If an emergency arises, there is an emergency ambulance service (call 119) and Ewha has two general hospitals (Mokdong hospital and Tongdaemun hospital), each with 500 beds. If you need counseling or have problems that require professional advice/counseling, please visit the Counseling Center on the 3rd floor of the Student Union Building. The Office of Global Affairs can arrange for you to speak with an English-speaking counselor to help assist you with any concerns or issues. COMMUNICATION Telephone: When making calls, keep in mind time zone differences www.timeanddate.com/worldclock. To make an international call to the United States, dial the access code for the country from which you are calling plus the United States country code (always “1”) followed by the appropriate U.S. area code and local number. To call internationally from the United States, dial “011”, the country code, city access code (if necessary) and the phone number. Country and city codes can be found online www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/dialing.html. Some of above steps can vary if you are using a calling card. Mail: Korean postal services generally take a week for shipments made out of country and a few days within Korea. Be sure that you check in advance about any goods that are un-shippable by law. For more information about Korean postal services available visit www.koreapost.go.kr. DHL service is also available on campus in the lobby of the student union building. The post office is located on the first basement level of the Alumnae Building. The campus post office provides general mailing services including mail, parcel, registration, domestic/international EMS, and certain banking services and is equipped with a variety of packaging items such as tape, scissors, and boxes. The post office is open 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (5:00 p.m. in winter), Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Email: Ewha has many computer labs that are available for your needs. In Korea, IBM is more commonly used than Macintosh. Students can use computer facilities in most of the buildings on campus including the library, Student Union Building, International Education Building and Ewha-Posco Hall. Students have access to the Internet and word processing programs including Microsoft Word. Skype: Skype is a free, downloadable software application that allows users to make live video and voice calls over the internet. Skype users can also add money to their account and can then use the service to call land lines and cell phones internationally at very low rates. Additionally, Skype also provides an instant messaging function as well as file sharing. To create a Skype account, users must download the application from www.skype.com and create a user name and password. Once the application is installed onto their computer, they can search for friends either by first and last name or using their friends' Skype usernames. Once a friend is added to a users contact list, they will be able to see whether that person is available to chat. If two users both have webenabled video cameras for their computers, they will be able to chat face to face. For users without a web cam, a microphone is all that’s required for calls to another computer. April 2011 14
