THE 2009 Entrance Ceremony was held on Feb. 16 in Jamsil Gymnasium for students entering Yonsei Univ. this year. Newly enrolled students came with their parents and filled up the gymnasium despite the cold weather. This year the ceremony was held off campus and on a large scale for the first time to overcome previously low attendance rates and to give a big welcome to the freshmen. "The period of about four years that you are going to spend in university is the best chance to obtain the essential and profound knowledge for your whole life. Therefore you should not only study hard on your major, but also take care of other activities like reading books, traveling, and making friends while at university," said Pres. Kim Han-joong.
