The Seoul Global Center is providing school orientation services for foreigners who will begin to attend South Korean schools next month.

The center, whose mission is to make living in Seoul more convenient for foreigners, will provide such services in cooperation with 12 colleges in Seoul.

Foreign students will be provided with basic data on living in Korea, including information on medical institutions, public transportation, driver’s licenses, cell phones and banks.

The center will also provide information to foreign students on Korea’s historical sites, tourist spots, libraries and major bookstores.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is currently running various programs for foreign students, including global internships. Seoul plans to have the foreign students who take part in the orientation also participate in such programs.
