The new semester has arrived, and the campus is flooded with freshmen. The chances of having a meal with the seniors will rise. Here’s the point. When you’re having a meal with the seniors or juniors, so many things have to be done. You have to consider what they’re going to eat, how much you will spend for the meal, and for when you should set the meal. After all, what’s the standard cost of having a meal with the seniors or juniors? ST offers some of the ordinary options of treating the seniors or juniors to a meal.
ST conducted the survey from January 26th, to march 3rd. 98 Soongsilians answered the survey.
To Seniors
- “Giving some tips for school is good, but do not flirt.”
- “Lead the conversation so juniors don't feel nervous.”
- “Don’t lecture your life style. We don't need it.”
- “Please Don’t disturb with personal issue.”
To Juniors
- “The maximum number of person is one to three.”
- “Say thank you to the person who treats you.”
- “Do not take so many friends at once.”
- “Give a big “hello” when you meet senior again.”
- “Repay the meal by buying some snacks or drinks.”
These tips are collected from actual survey.

When my first semester some senior said “Call me when you want to have a meal,” I visited him with bunch of my friends. I saw the senior panicking and thought ‘Well, seniors are also just ordinary university students.’ I used to assume the seniors are really higher than me, but it wasn’t really. Anyway giving a meal to juniors is really good tradition I think. It give us a chance to become familiar.
From the search data ST assumed the standard form of meal between seniors and juniors. More than half of people think more than 3000won under than 6000won is an average for how much is proper to a person. Korean dish is stated as a most preferred kind of food. ST guessed the reason why people dislike a western dish is high price. About 70% of students choose the restaurant outside of school to have a meal. The biggest expectation for having meal with senior or juniors is making personal connection. Getting school information followed as second factor. Enjoying meal itself also counted as third usual factor.
