Aug. 23, 2012	Move in to dorms
Sept. 3, 2012	Classes start

*All of the business classes have a very limited number of seats (usually only 5!!), so when I say IMMEDIATELY, I mean that you should be waiting on your computer, staring at the clock. Haha. That’s what I did and I was able to get all my classes. J

I know that this may look like a lot of work, but it’s totally worth it! I bolded the dates that are specifically about MIX and 연세대학교 (Yonsei University). The rest are scholarship related info.
