How much is the school charging you for your off-campus housing? Did they show you photos? @Sarah

Anyway I applied too, I'll see what details and price they're giving. They seem to think that just cos’ we don’t come from the ‘least developed countries’, we’re alright with paying that amount, lol.

I'm super annoyed with SNU too cos it's like bursting your budget OVERNIGHT!! My friends and I are currently looking for alternative. With that sum of money SNU is asking for, I'm sure we can get some apartment At least..... Really felt like writing a petition to them. Hey.

Until I've signed one, I'm not committed. A Goshiwon is a LOT more economical from what I've heard. The ONLY thing that makes me think twice, is that these look like really nice apartments ... and I've heard if you can find a good appartment for $400 then you're lucky. That would set you back $1200 for a semester though, which is only half what SNU is asking. I don't understand why it's so stinking expensive, isn't university sponsored stuff supposed to be student priced? Just because we're foreigners doesn't mean we're made of cash ... @Sarah

Since my major is Linguistics I am going to take lots of linguistics courses. i also applied since they said “they have only 70 rooms for 130 exchange students”

Did you receive a reply from them upon applying? I'm not too sure yet. I'm more towards sourcing for my own private housing. Maybe a Goshiwon or a One Room. But then again, I've never been to Korea and I'm pretty unfamiliar with how rentals go. Oh you mean we can still choose to accept? Did you receive a reply from them upon applying?

You're opting for the private ones provided by SNU? Those are mad expensive. o.o Those of us from Singapore don’t get it either, I checked with SNU Housing.
