Thanks for the response hunx btw did you have a curfew or roll call at korea uni cj int. house, cause i'm worried about that lol but the rent is so much cheaper
This is so cool! I'm planning on doing half of my bachelors degree in Seoul and half in Amsterdam and this makes me more excited! Also, spotted tata in the back hehe
I don't know any of the people on your walls but your apartment is so clearly full of love and things you love, it's beautiful to see. Thank you for this window into your life.
$630 US dollars?? A $630 apartment in any major or a majority of suburbs in the US would be half the size with literally no upgrades. Why is Korea so much more advanced 😩😩 I’m so envious
BTW thank you so much for making these videos!! recently I found that going to a Korean uni was actually an option for foreigners and you are showing me what it’s actually like to stay for 4 years instead of as an exchange student. Makes me feel like it’s really possible after all... Ugh I’m getting so excited even tho I have 2 years left!! Luv u and your videos ❤️❤️
I did a summer exchange at Kyunghee! I didn’t get the entire entire foreign student experience while I was there. Your video made me want to go back there. Nice apt btw. I’m an nctzen.
I stopped the video in the part where u shown the view. I swear I was staring on it for like a good 10 mins. It's so beautiful! Hope you feel great in there!
Cathy, I have been watching since your application. Seeing you moved to apartment, Wow, you are amazing person. I apply GKS this year and prepared to study in Korea. But , seeing your video makes me feel that it is not an easy journey. By the way, are you ARMY and still in Korea?
Your house is soo cool.. I feel like I can live my dream through you❤️ Also, I would like to advice you to not to show openly where you live because there are some veerrrryyyy creepy people out there. Take care☺️
hey could you maybe make a video about what you spend in like a month because I want to move to korea as a student but I don't know if Korea is way more expansive than the US or other western countries
Question: how is the English speaking at your university? Like... are you taking compulsory courses in korean? Are they hard? And did u have to know a bit of korean to go to the university? What do you reccomend ? Are the lessons that are "in english" actually in English? Sorry for the many questions... I'm just scared I might not be able to get in with no korean... and then having to deal with lectures in korean 😅💖
......also when we visited Korea all the rooms we stayed in had abseiling kits for emergency evacuation (freaked us out being 10-15 floors up). Do apartments have them aswell in case of fires?
Hey Cathy ! I’m really interested in applying to KU as a BA undergrad major. What I’m confused in is that how many English classes would I be able to take versus how many Korean classes must I take? I heard that I can take my primary classes in English but electives in Korean?? As a person who is a beginner speaker, would I be able to take these classes?
@@cathyinkorea what courses are you taking in Korean? Do they contribute to our overall GPA/score and as a beginner speaker would they be difficult for me?
Ik this is a bit of an odd one but if i ordered a steak at a restaurant how would i say rare/medium rare etc is it just the same as in english or are there special words
Thanks for sharing. Our son is currently at yonsei in a dorm whilst on a year exchange from uk (shame given its online and theres restrictions in place but hey?). He plans to return later to do his masters so would need to get an apartment so wondered how much was the deposit? Here in the uk it's a max of 5 weeks rent so usually a month is taken but heard that in korea they ask for the equivalent of 2-3 years rent?
My deposit was ₩10,000,000 which is standard for an officetel like this. But if he wants to get a one-room (not something in a tall building like this) usually the deposits can be cheaper! Around ₩3-5,000,000 is pretty common for those
The deposit is just key money so you’ll get it back after your lease is up, but when I moved in all I had to pay was the key money, one month rent, and then the contract fee
Hi, first of all nice haircut! I just wanted to know, to they provide student loan and student maintenance fees (like for basic needs, rent and so on) for international students?
Can you study 2 years in your hometown uni and another 2 years in Korea uni? Because I’m planning to do that 😩(still thinking if I want to get a bachelor degree)
6:10 how long does it take for the stuff to be delivered? Planning to live in Korea for five years, hopefully leaving my home country January next year, thank you for answering can't wait to be your junior in KU
Hi, I'm sorry for replying this late...but to answer your question, sadly I won't be applying this year since I still need to complete one academic year to apply😔 manifesting my approved application for the year 2022 though😊 Are you applying this year? If you are, I sincerely hope you get accepted🤗 Good luck Precious❤️
I’m actually not working here! In order to get a part time job the school has to approve of it, and I don’t have a TOPIK score so I can’t work here just yet 🙈
@@mimi-bm3bz mmm I haven’t been looking for a job these days so I’m not sure exactly what the options are but there are always jobs teaching English at hakwon 🙈 or there are some offices around campus that have part-timers but you would also need to know Korean
Hey I was wondering if Korea University provides help and or information with part time jobs for students or internships. I wanted to how an international student is able to fund themselves while studying at a Uni there
There are lots of postings on the student website about part time job opportunities, but the ones the school sends through text are all internships or full-time positions at companies. In order to get a part time job here tho the KU GSC has to approve of it and you need at least TOPIK Level 4 (but I haven’t taken the exam yet so I can’t get a part time job :/ )
do you mind sending the places you know in anam that are 300 bucks a month? you mentioned at the 10th minute of the video that they had some of them near ku. would love if you shared what you know!
if you can read korean i recommend looking on the zigbang website, or check out the site of the real estate company i used called ziptoss! i think their listings may be in english
Hey Cathy , how can I get in touch with you ?, actually I have some queries regarding KU as in business major , Please spend a part of your valueable time to answer my question, it'll be great favour for me :-)
why do people feel compelled to show whats inside every single cabinet and drawer.. is so lame and time wasting.. its like.. just show the space god damnit.
@@cathyinkorea oh ok that is what I am playing to do to afford it also if you do the topik 4 level test are you planning to get a part time job so that you can have extra spending money
@@essieesther9223 it totally depends on your lifestyle but for me I don’t think it’s super expensive! Things like fruits and veggies can be pretty expensive and western food is much more expensive than Korean food, but my lifestyle is mostly just cooking at home and going to birthday cafes as my “leisure” spending. Of course there are specific things I have to pay for monthly like my phone plan (₩39,000) and charging my transportation card (+/-₩30,000) but once you get settled in I think living here is pretty affordable!
Here’s what I pay!
Key money: ₩10,000,000
Rent: ₩700,000
Maintenance Fee: ₩80,000
Gas, water, electricity: ??? (It’s just as much as I use!)
Thanks for the response hunx btw did you have a curfew or roll call at korea uni cj int. house, cause i'm worried about that lol but the rent is so much cheaper
@@royal9588 no curfew but we had to check our temperatures at the front desk everyday bc of corona :/ we've had to do it everyday since April

Hello Cathy
Hey I rlly love your account can you do more for Korea bcs I rlly wanna go there one day and i don’t know what i need everything pls I will love that!
So you like kpop AND Harry Potter? PLEASE be my friend cause omg-
......also when we visited Korea all the rooms we stayed in had abseiling kits for emergency evacuation (freaked us out being 10-15 floors up). Do apartments have them aswell in case of fires?
Mmm I’ve never seen something like that. My room has a fire extinguisher but in the case of an emergency evacuation we have the stairs 😅
@@cathyinkorea must just be hotels...we looked at the kits and then down out the windows and were like yeh of course 😁
How did you learn Korean? It sounds very good. I am currently trying to learn but I am finding it difficult

Omg i want to move for a year or two :(
I m in Pennsylvania
Ik this is a bit of an odd one but if i ordered a steak at a restaurant how would i say rare/medium rare etc is it just the same as in english or are there special words
I think the Korean words for those are the same in English! Just try to say it in a Korean accent so they can understand you 🙈

I just wanted to know, to they provide student loan and student maintenance fees (like for basic needs, rent and so on) for international students?
