context_page_description: Membership Training is an event held among university students in South Korea. These events last roughly two days and are considered a free-form training session, where students spend time socializing with peers in the same academic majors or clubs, often at a remote location.
context_section_description: There are several types of membership training.
  Sae-teo (Korean: 새터) is an MT that helps freshman students learn the basics of campus life and gives them a chance to get to know other freshmen. These sessions open before lectures start, and are focused on building relationships.
  "OT" is orientation for the people within the same university department. OT's are centred on conveying the necessary information about campus life, such as course registration, specific classes, and annual events. The students are introduced the department's professors.
  Students may also attend an activity called ''Nonghwal'', which is conducted by volunteers who want to help Korea's rural communities during summer vacation.
  Beyond these official MT's, students often organize unofficial MT's. They are planned by various campus clubs whose members want to create groups of like-minded friends.
