Hi, may I know the name of this off-campus apartment? Is it good and recommended to stay with? I am leaving to Korea for a short language course in coming Dec and now is desperate in looking for accommodation.

I’m a graduate student, maybe that’s the main reason I got a on-campus room more easily. But the bad news is that I can’t move in the dorm until 1st Mar…I don’t know…I think I have to live in guesthouse or somewhere else before my moving into the dorm. Anyway, don’t worry, JY, you can also live in guesthouse for few days and then seek yourself a good place to stay in case you end up being rejected by the off-campus dormitory. I mean…it’s the worst thing, and I believe you can move into the dorm before the new semester begins.
PS.as far as I know, the orientation is not that helpful as you may think…

You are lucky to have the on-campus room! They just told me that they have construction in the dormitory this semester so almost half of them are not available at the moment. so that’s y I have to apply off-campus. btw, I finally receive the mail from them. They said I am on the waiting list and they will see if there is any cancellation until late FEB!! late FEB!! the orientation is on the 26th feb and I was like OMG! though they said they will ask some korean residents to move out and secure a room for me in the building even there was no cancellation…T__T so I just dunno wt i can do now…maybe just wait for their e-mails again…*sigh* and I gotta book the flight ticket too! really dunno wt date I should book it as the accommodation is yet to be confirmed…so worried now…><

@Joanne YUEN
Actually, I got an on-campus room and I wanted to ask them about the payment thing. I sent lots of e-mails to different offices but received only two emails back after long time waiting. So it’s still lucky for me…I think you’d better phone them if you don’t want to wait any longer. Sometimes, they just checked your email but never plan to reply you. That’s what I’ve heard from the students there.
Also, you could contact with the professors in your department or college, they’ll ask the staffs of your department or college to deal with your problem. Hope I can help~

@Joanne YUEN I believe everyone got their email, so either the spots got filled or your app got lost. I'd email them again, their pretty quick at answering. If I find out more about off-campus housing, I'll make sure to post it here. Nice to meet you!
