Off-campus housing options |
| 1. Private Boarding House (Hasook-Jib) |
|
These are shared houses with several rooms on each floor. Occupants rent a room and share a living room, kitchen and bathroom with the other tenants. Costs range between KRW 250,000 - KRW 450,000 per month depending on the size of the bedrooms, the quality of the facilities and whether the room is shared or not. Breakfast and dinner are often included in the price. |
| 2. Checklist for identifying a boarding house |
- Is it a shared room?
- When is breakfast/dinner? What's the menu like?
- Do they let you use the kitchen?
- Are there showers? Check the water pressure.
- How many people share a bathroom?
- Is there a dryer or do you have to line dry your clothes?
- How is the room furnished? Generally, there is no furniture, and if there is furniture, it is usually what
has been left behind by previous tenants.
- Is there Internet connection? Is it free of charge?
- Do you do your own laundry or does the "manager/owner" do everyone's at the same time? |
| 3. Private studios |
|
Studios consist of one room along with a bathroom and kitchen area. A key money deposit is required, usually between 5,000,000 and 20,000,000 KRW, along with the monthly rent, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 KRW. The more deposit you pay upfront, the lower your monthly rent; every additional 1,000,000 KRW deposit you pay reduces your monthly rent by approximately 100,000 KRW. For example, if the studio's asset value is 40,000,000 KRW, you can deposit 5,000,000 KRW and pay 530,000 KRW each month (rough calculation). In some cases, you might pay no deposit, but the owner might request that you pay several months in advance. It is advisable to make sure that there are no liens on the studio and to consider purchasing key money deposit insurance. |
| 4. Check-list for identifying a studio room |
- Does it have a washing machine/dryer in your room or will you share with other tenants?
- Usually, it is necessary to pay for utilities (electricity, water and gas) and a building maintenance fee, between KRW 10,000 and KRW 50,000. Sometimes utilities include the water bill but this depends on the owners, so ask.
- How is the room furnished?
- In most cases, you have to buy your own official waste disposal bags, which are available at nearby supermarkets or convenience stores.
- Most do not have Internet connection, but some do. If it does not, ask the owner how to go about installing it. |
| 5. Temporary housing / guest house |
|
Guest houses are inexpensive and a good way to experience Korean culture and meet other foreign tourists. Guests can receive a lot of information from the owners of the guesthouse. They also offer special weekend programs that allow foreigners to meet Koreans. Guest houses offer foreign tourists the opportunity to learn about Korea firsthand and meet new Korean friends. Many guesthouses are remodeled family homes (generally sharing bathrooms) and are nearby downtown areas and tourist destinations. The price for one night is around 15,000-40,000 KRW. Some of those are:
¢º Beewon Guest House: www.beewonguesthouse.com
¢º Friends House: www.friends-house.com
¢º Guesthouse Korea: www.guesthouseinkorea.com
|
| 6. Homestay Program |
|
The Homestay Program differs from the Host Family Program. Students will actually live with Korean families. The Korean families will provide accommodation, home-cooked Korean food and cultural exchanges for a reasonable fee. Students will have a great opportunity to experience the life of regular Korean families.
