On the spring of 2013, I spend one semester at Sungkyunwan University (SKKU) in Seoul, Korea. In my previous papers, I’ve already written shortly about what life over there was like. You’re probably reading this because you’re also interested on going on exchange as well, so I will try to give you more insight on the all aspect of life in Korea.
LIVING
Housing: SKKU has good housing facilities. There are 3 dorms (I-House, Migaonville and Koartville). Both I-House and Migaonville are walking distance from school, and Koartville is two subway stations away. I lived in Koartville, but had friends living on all the dorms. I believe that my dorm was the best, mostly because of the location. Koartville is located in near a very busy commercial street, with a lot of restaurants and shops nearby, while the other two dorms are in residential areas, and places to eat are a little more distant. The only disadvantage is that you are not so close to school, but from my room to the classroom, it always took me 30 minutes. I also had friends, who opted for renting by themselves, but this is not easy because landlords usually ask for one-year contracts, so unless you’re going for two semesters, it might not be convenient.
