Residential Masters (RM) and Residential Assistants (RA) are school staff members local to each Global Rotation city who are assigned to each residence in order to instruct, support, and guide our students on residential and academic matters. RAs also reside in the student residence alongside the students as a round-the-clock, on-site advisor for any issues that may arise within and without the student residence.

Because all Global Rotation cities are major metropolises, our student residences are selected according to a combination of factors that we consider optimal for a productive, gratifying student experience. Due to the rotating schedule of TAEJAE’s student placement, the University does not own residences full-time, but provides dorm-like living spaces for students in conjunction with well-regarded hospitality agencies in each city. One of TAEJAE’s main goals in Global Rotation is for students to experience as much as they can, academically and otherwise, from their environments, and thus each residence is located in safe, central, and lively parts of the city where students can study, work, and explore with ease of access and peace of mind.

TAEJAE residences are co-living houses. In addition to student rooms, they feature common living facilities such as kitchens, dining rooms, study rooms, lounge spaces, exercise equipment, etc.
Digital libraries, video production studios, and other academic resources are available at the central headquarter facilities of TAEJAE University in Seoul. TAEJAE University is in the process of pursuing MOUs with universities and organizations in Global Rotation cities in order to grant authorization for TAEJAE students to use facilities such as sports complexes, laboratories, and university hospitals at partner institutions. Students who would like to pursue individual memberships or partnerships with private facilities for the sake of their academic and student life activities can submit sponsorship requests to the University’s Office of Academic Affairs.

Room assignments are determined according to a set of basic principles determined by TAEJAE’s Residence Committee, first prioritizing essential needs based on primary factors such as nationality, religion, gender, and health conditions, with secondary factors such as personal preferences, roommate requests, hobbies, and lifestyles being taken into consideration afterwards. All incoming students will be surveyed on their needs and preferences before the room assignments are finalized. The Residence Committee will attempt to accommodate as many personal preferences as possible but cannot guarantee that requests will be granted.

As a general principle, students are not allowed to change rooms or roommates during a semester once assignments are made. However, necessary exceptions can be made for essential reasons such as health and safety. If a room change is deemed necessary, students may request changes and discuss possible solutions with their local Residential Master. 

Shared rooms are typically the norm offered in our residences, with accommodations ranging from 2-person to 4-person facilities. However, the Residence Committee will have a limited number of single rooms available for necessary circumstances, such as students who require special accommodation or health considerations.

As a general principle, the school will attempt to assign students with roommates of the same gender identities. Students with specific gender considerations will have the option to request gender-based room assignments and the Residence Committee will ask all students to signify their willingness to share a room with someone of a different gender identity or expression. Although the University will do its best to accommodate as many requests as possible, our ability to do so will depend on the distribution of genders and gendered room requests per cohort.
