I’m an international student in Korea, and I found the housing process here pretty confusing.

For me, one of the hardest parts was that even when I contacted real estate agencies in English, the actual contract was still written in Korean. It was difficult to fully understand the terms, deposit rules, fees, and what I was actually agreeing to.

I’m curious if other international students had similar experiences. What was the most difficult part for you when finding housing in Korea? (eg. contract, finding reliable listings, communicating with real estate agents, avoiding scams)

Also, what did you use to solve those problems?
