Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Everybody at the international dorm speaks English, so there aren't many possibilities to practice Korean

Personal comments
The dorm is quite clean, modern, and safe. The only problem is that it gets loud at times.

Personal comments
Other than having to share a dorm room, the dorm itself was clean with many useful facilities, including free use of washer/dryer, free internet access in the room or in the main lobby, along with well furnished community rooms on each floor.
