    This was a great comprehensive list! The only thing I wanna mention that probably won't apply to me that you mentioned not to bring is hair products. As a black woman with 4C hair that is coiled & kinky, I know South Korea won't have hair products that take care of my hair. So, I think I'd have to either buy them in bulk beforehand or have a relative/friend send them to me to avoid paying a bunch of shipping fees through Amazon.

      it depends on your home university, but i think the main requirement is that you just have to be in uni. some schools might not want you to go in your first year, but maybe second semester would be okay. so theres less of an age requirement and more of an education requirement for the most part
