Housing
One of the first things that will strike you when you arrive in any city in Korea is the number of
high rise apartment buildings. This is the preferred style of accommodation in Korea and just
like houses they come in varying shapes, sizes and prices. Although detached houses exist,
they are uncommon due to the limited amount of flat land.
You will be provided with a single studio apartment/bachelor suit free of charge that is within
walking distance to your school. You may find your place is a little smaller than you are used
to but it will be comfortable nevertheless. If you arrive with a positive and realistic attitude
about your housing you will be pleasantly surprised.
Things to know:
 | | You will have your own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and washroom. The
|
bathroom will have a toilet, sink and shower but don't expect a bathtub as they are
uncommon in Korea.
 | | Your apartment will be furnished with a bed, dressing table, TV, fridge, gas cooker
|
and in some cases a microwave and washing machine.
 | | Cable TV and an Internet connection is also available
|
 | | The majority Korean apartments have heated floors, an efficient and comfortable
|
method of keeping your place warm during the bitter winter months.
 | | Your place will also be equipped with an air conditioning unit or a fan to keep you
|
cool during the summer.
 | | You must pay your own utilities, please see cost of living for further details. |
