Yonsei University

Have fun, travel, meet people, enjoy the different culture, learn, and keep up with the studies. The people are pretty friendly there. South Korea is extremely wired too, which is really convenient. Can only pay cash for a lot of things (even cell phone bill for me). If you need cash, take out money infrequently but in large sums from atm to avoid the transaction fee. Can get a bank account at Woori Bank too if you need. Watch out for crazy traffic in the busy city areas .It can be pretty bad in Seoul. Probably there is much more to know, but I can't think of it right now~

There's a "Grand Mart" at Shinchon Subway Station that is much cheaper than the "Rainbow Supermarket" at the East Gate. Don't go to Department Stores to shop for clothes, they are extremely expensive and they sometimes charge twice or even three times the price for Western labels. Go to Dongdaemun Night Market instead. - Great bargains!

All in all, very challenging but very rewarding. I recommend it for anyone.

My Goshiwon was small but it was just outside of Yonsei and located right by the subway (which is honestly your main source of transportation anywhere in Seoul aside from buses and taxi's coming home from long nights with friends if you didn't spend it in Sinchon)

Try to travel as most as you can. South Korea is in the middle of asia: you are one hour flight from Beijing, one from Tokyo, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam are quite close too! It would be a good opportunity to spend your summer holidays here if you come for the Spring Term!

lonely planet for Korea is best for your orientation in this country; you can open a bank account at campus for free; go there enjoy friendly, helpful, nice people and have fun!
