I LOVE IT WHEN K.A.I.S.T.'S ROBOTS AND ROBOTIC WHEELCHAIRS AND MACHINE-LEARNING A.I.'S MAKE ME FEEL SUPREME.❤

[@JasonWalsh-b4n]

EDUCATE ME, SNOKES! WHO ARE MY BEST FRIENDLY FRIENDS!❤

[@rokshanaahmed5242]

Heyyy ❤ thanks a lot for making such an informative video. Do you know by chance if one can request to share a room with someone specific, like a friend? Or I just have to wait to be sorted with someone random?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Hi, thank you for watching!💗 You can of course try to send an email but I don’t know anyone who has successfully done so. Based on what I’ve seen they tend to try to group students by nationality :)

[@OdaNobunaga1995]

Hey there. May I know what type of battery is needed for the closet lock? 😁 Have you tried walking from your hostel to the E8 area? I wonder how many minutes it will take to walk from the west dormitory to the east faculty buildings like those on E8 area.

[@AadaAndHeikki]

I didn’t use the wardrobe lock so I’m not 100% sure. I think it was either AA or AAA battery. If I remember correctly you need 4 of them. I think you can find those at the dormitory convenience store :) From my dormitory W6 to the library (E9) it takes approximately 12 minutes depending on your walking pace. To E8 it might be closer to 18 minutes😄

[@OdaNobunaga1995]

​@AadaAndHeikki Thank you for the information. Actually, I will have to walk from W4 to E6. I can do an estimation based on your experience now. Going to be an exercise for me everyday later 😅

[@AadaAndHeikki]

@@OdaNobunaga1995 Sometimes there are Tashu city bikes outside W4-2 dorm. You can ride them for 1 hour for free. You only need the Daejeon Tashu app for it :)

[@OdaNobunaga1995]

@@AadaAndHeikki Oh. But ride for one hour? So like only use it to go somewhere for awhile. Can't actually use it to go for class/lab?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

@@OdaNobunaga1995 There many different city bike stations at the campus where you can rent and return the bike :) Locations are near the North cafeteria, W4-2, E11 and West gate.

[@sounissah]

Hi ! Do we have to buy our own laundry detergent when using the washing machine ? I don’t want to buy a huge bottle which is gonna take so much space in my luggage :’(

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Hi! Yes you need to buy one but you can find 1kg package from the small convenience store at the dorm. I didn’t use the washing machine that much and I had left 1/4 of the package. If you have some left in the end of the exchange you can leave it on a table in the hallway where people can freely take stuff.

[@sounissah]

@@AadaAndHeikki omgg I didn’t know that, thank you so much for your help !

[@sounissah]

Hi ! Thanks for making these videos, i’m an undergraduate student going on an exchange there next month and it’s really helping a lot ❤ i was curious, are you a graduate or undergrad student ? I saw you took Philosophy of Science as a course in one of your videos and i was interested in it !

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Hi! Lovely to hear and I wish you all the best!✨ I’m an undergraduate student :) Haha I actually ended up dropping that course because it’s workload didn’t fit my schedule😅

[@sounissah]

Oh ok ! I’ll check if it’s available for Fall 2024 then :) I was also wondering whether the beddings include bed sheets and blanket/pillow cases ?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

⁠@@sounissah A blanket and a pillow can be rented and it needs to be paid during the orientation week. Bedsheets aren’t included.

[@sounissah]

@@AadaAndHeikki ok thank for your answering my questions :)) !

[@aRVeesBlog]

thanks for the tour

[@AmnaBano-kd7ex]

I really loved the video can you plz make one on expenditure including all costs for a gks student

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Thanks for the comment!🥰 I’m not actually a gks student, just staying for one semester. I’m not sure about the gks program😅

[@duruaksozen4850]

Perfect english and very helpful video

[@tasniabari9132]

The rent you pay, for the whole room , will it be split between two people if there are another student or would it be doubled?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

I think they inform the per person price regardless of whether the room is shared or not.

[@sarahfidel844]

Heyy, I’m trying to apply to kaist and I was wondering if there’s any facilities for students to cook their own food, rather than buying or eating from the food courts

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Hello, I remember hearing during the orientation that there would be a kitchen for international students that you can reserve.😄 I haven’t used or seen it in person.

[@sarahfidel844]

@@AadaAndHeikki okay, thank you 🫶

[@ma.rie3454]

Can u tell us how much to get a room alone there? Can an undergraduate student get it? Im thinking about applying to kaist but i have 3.5 gpa..is it fine?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

As an exchange student it can be possible if nobody is assigned to double room with you. I’m not sure about the single room without special requirements. The rent for the dorm varies but as an undergraduate student you’ll most likely live in Dasom hall. The rent for double room will be around 343€/$370 - 414€/$447 for 4 months or single room 1079€/$1164 for 6 months.😄 I think 3.5 gpa will be fine since the threshold is 3.0 gpa☺️

[@ma.rie3454]

@@AadaAndHeikki im so scared because people tell me its hard to get exepted with 3.5 in industrial design undergraduate program..i will be applying soon thats why i really have a Lots of questions about gpa. Ça u tell me whats the average of students gpa please...ㅠㅠ

[@AadaAndHeikki]

@ma.rie3454 Good luck, we’re rooting for you!🏆☺️ Sorry I really don’t know about the GPA since I’m an exchange student

[@cookiezi2913]

heeey, great video! Does the university cafeteria offer halal food options?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Thank you so much!🥰 There is at least one halal school cafeteria called Pulbitmaru😄

[@habibaadel1968]

You said there are several dorms. Do you get to decide which one you'll stay at? Is the pay different?

[@habibaadel1968]

Like if i wanted to get a room with a shower/toilet. What do i need to do?

[@habibaadel1968]

Sorry, last question. Is there a kitchen if you want to cook?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Thank you for the questions, I’ll happily answer any questions.🥰 You really cannot decide the dorm you are assigned since the KAIST team assigns you to one, also the pay varies for the dormitory. Yes, there are other dorms as well but mostly for the full time students. However, if you are an exchange student and have applied for a single room with a vital reason you can be assigned other dorms. Usually undergraduate students live in either Dasom (Female) or Heemang (Male) and Graduate Yeoul (Female) or Nadl (Male) hall😄

[@AadaAndHeikki]

​@@habibaadel1968 I'm sorry to say this but these double rooms where exchange students are assigned to usually don't have these facilities. You might get a one with a vital reasons.

[@AadaAndHeikki]

@@habibaadel1968 As I've heard there is an international kitched that you might need to reserve before use. I've never used it so I don't know a lot about it. There are several school cafeterias, coffee shops and a subway so you really don't need to cook. You can easily choose whatever you like☺

[@tasniabari9132]

Hey, are the most majors taught in English? Do u have any idea if comluter science is taught in English?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Hi! I’m under the impression that KAIST has an English CS major for undergraduate level. I think most Master’s programs are taught in English too. As I’m not sure, please check from the website as well.

[@mhffz9]

hii i love your video so much!! ^^ btw i have some question, do you have any possibilities to have any friend or someone that can help to record the tour for yeoul hall? my friend apply for master there & master dorm will be yeoul hall but i cant found any tour for that dormitory :( i will appreciate a lot if you can reply to my comments & tqsm!! also goodluck for your study journey

[@AadaAndHeikki]

We are glad you like it! The double-room dorms are exactly the same in Yeoul hall but without a shower and a toilet. Showers and toilets usually are on the aisles and shared with other tenants of the same floor. There is also a shared free gym, a convenience store as well as the laundry room. Which are very similar to my dorm. ☺️ Hopefully this helps! I wish you all the best for your and good luck❤✨

[@prettyrose3713]

​@@AadaAndHeikki Do they ask you for a specific amount that you must have in your bank account?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

@@prettyrose3713 i’m on exchange for one semester so I didn’t have to provide any such information for the visa D-2. However, it depends on the country you are from.

[@prettyrose3713]

​@@AadaAndHeikkiUnderstood . After finishing my studies, can I start working there?

[@arroocitoo]

nice! thank you for the video, what's your major btw?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Thank you for watching!🥰 At KAIST uni I mostly study Business and Technology Management but at Aalto uni my major is Automation and Robotics🤖🦾

[@tasniabari9132]

Also , is the double room rent 110 euros split between two people??

[@AadaAndHeikki]

It’s most likely per person :)

[@daphibetibhasuja5764]

Hi.....I'm from india.. i would like to ask you is there mining engineering there??

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Hi, I’m not sure about it but as I was applying for courses during my exchange I didn’t spot any mining related courses on the list.

[@FaudziaFujisaraKida]

is the lecturer speak in english?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Yes, if you choose courses taught in English! They actually speek suprisingly well English. In the KAIST course selction portal you can easily filter courses taught in English so you don’t accidentally end up courses taught in Korean😄

[@merojk5442]

How much the single room cost? And could you tell me how much computer science major cost per one semester, please 🥹

[@AadaAndHeikki]

I’m only an exchange student here so I don’t pay tution fees. I think the tuition fee would be the same for all degree students. The dormitory rent varies by the location of the dorm also for the length of the stay. I pay total of 1 284 000 KRW/869€/$943 for 4 month stay of this single room.

[@fairosesahara4430]

Hey...are you an army?

[@Unikutelle]

How can I apply this university

[@ishaq826]

Wow great! Do you pay for the Gym?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

No we don’t, it’s completely free!😄

[@ishaq826]

I also applied at KAIST University I am waiting to be accepted. I am in China.

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Wow, I wish you all the best and good luck!🤩✨

[@alishbanawaz360]

Is everything completely free like from food to accommodation and travel expenses and basic laundry etc In short is everything for free? Or do i have to pay for food and basic things?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Thank you for the question! Unfortunately food, accomodation and travelling etc. isn’t free.😞 You can freely use the dormitory gym and laudry except for the tumble drier which is only 1000 KRW per use.

[@tkmanar4797]

It's so empty lol where's the ppl

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Haha, probably in school or at the library. They don’t spend that much time at the dorm especially if they share a room😄

[@abedabegum6761]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@commonlifecommongoal1384]

how is the wifi?

[@AadaAndHeikki]

Very good! For the first time you need to register the WiFi through KAIST system. There is also a WLAN port option😄

[@shimarinn7152]

What ! You gonna travel 🧳 from your country to her apartment 😂
