Questions

Everything you need to know

Yes! Mentors Club is completely free for all Yonsei University exchange students. There are no membership fees or hidden costs.

Not at all! While some Korean language skills can be helpful, they're not required. Many of our events are conducted in English, and your Korean buddy will help bridge any language gaps.

It's completely flexible! You can participate as much or as little as you want. Most students attend 2-3 events per month and meet their buddy once a week, but you're free to set your own pace.

Applications open at the beginning of each semester. For Spring 2026, the deadline is February 27th. We recommend applying early as spots fill up quickly!

While we primarily accept new members at the start of each semester, we occasionally have openings mid-semester. Contact us at mentorsclub@gmail.com to check availability.
