You spend more because you're traveling and you doing new things! All new things in different countries does cost money unfortunately...while I can't say it doesn't apply for things back at home cause it probably does (like going to see a new movie or a new bar that opened a few miles away etc...) Here..You are more willing to spend because with this spending comes the memories that you did them in a different country and the stories you can bring back to your family. I think thats why I was always more willing to spend on food and and travel here more than at home. There's new foods to try and places to see that at home you won't have and who knows when you will be presented with the opportunity to encounter these same places again.

Significant financial surprises? mmm, don't go crazy spending if you know wiring money or your means of support doesn't come right away. I received a stipend from the school for my meals but I got so excited to see money that I blew it SO fast. On top of that my wonderful hardworking momma would send me $100 every 2 weeks...but once I blew my stipend and all I had was 100 every 2 weeks...Life got hard...And hard called for Ramen...FOR ALL MEALS. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner...It was all I could afford. It was horrible. Ramen makes me so sick to see now its scary.
You must be open to being very socially interative (especially in the drinking aspect). You must increase your alcoholic intake in order to keep up with the others.

Be prepared to be exposed to a different culture with different eating habits, traditions, and language. By being openminded you will learn a lot.

Gangnum is an area that the youthful like to go to where there are a lot of american influenced restaurants, pubs, theatres and such when you are homesick. Insadong is a great cultural place that provides a look into the past through their buildings, food, and daily activities such as trying your hand at pottery (it's a good place to buy souveneirs). Night life is everywhere, every night. Best place to shop is Myungdong with an option of all types of fashion from the latest designers or the street market (with many delicious bites to eat)

There are 3 areas I very much recommend:
1) Shinchon (the university area): lots of bars, pubs, karaoke bars and restaurants. All of them are very cheap and you can have great nights out with a big group of people.
2) Hongdae (the area around the Hongik Art University) - great clubs, both HipHop and House music, very recommendable: M2! Great clubbings!
3) Apgujeong (The Beverly Hills of Seoul) - great trendy clubs, beautiful people, good music. Unfortunately a little bit pricey when you're not on the guestlist of these clubbings.
Don't take too much with you or accumulate too much while you are there .It's a hassle to carry it all and you might have to pay a fee at the airport, or pay a lot to ship it home. But that is probably the same for wherever you go though. Housing near the university can be expensive, but if you search around you might be able to find a good deal. Overall costs weren't too bad there.
