Afternoon all,

I'm an 18M incoming Global Interdisciplinary Studies student at JW Kim College of Future Studies (Endicott).

Unfortunately I missed out on a room in SolGeo, so it looks as though I'll be sorting a place off campus instead.

At the moment I'm mainly looking at a full-option (fully furnished) 2-bedroom, 1-bath flat in Dong-gu, though I'm still keeping my options open.

The place I'm currently considering is:
• Key money (deposit): ₩5,000,000 (roughly US$3,550 / £2,640)
• Monthly rent: ₩560,000 (roughly US$400 / £295)

I'm arriving towards the end of August / beginning of September, so if anyone else is in a similar position and is looking for a flatmate around then, do give me a shout.

A little about me: I'm fairly tidy, reasonably organised, and a bit of a germophobe, so I do appreciate keeping shared spaces clean. I'm generally quite easy to live with and tend to keep things fairly low-key at home.

Outside of uni I'm usually out hiking, reading, or down a cybersecurity rabbit hole. I'm also looking forward to exploring Daejeon once I arrive.

If you reckon we'd get on, feel free to drop me a message.

Cheers.

British-Indian IB student here. I'll be moving to Korea for uni and was hoping to get to know a few Overseas Koreans before arriving.

I figured most people either understand Korea or the international student experience, whereas returnees tend to have a foot in both camps. As someone who's completely new to living in Korea, that perspective seems particularly useful.

Feel free to reach out.

Suppose someone passes the first round, gets an interview, does well, and is admitted to Yonsei UIC. Later, they fail the IB Diploma but still receive a regular high school diploma from their school and graduate normally.

Would they still be allowed to enroll, or is the IB Diploma a strict requirement that would cause the admission offer to be withdrawn?

I'd appreciate any insight from current students or applicants who know how this works.

hey guys, i recently got my interview scheduled for Yonsei University Underwood International College and was wondering what the interview is like for native english speakers?

from what i know they partly use it to see how well you can express yourself in english, so does the interview get more difficult / more academic if english is already your first language?

what kind of questions did they ask you guys? was it mostly casual, opinion-based, current events, etc?

thanks 🙏

hey guys quick q about admissions

im applying to uic with a 28 pg (ib) which i know isnt amazing. had some documented illness-related absences during dp1/dp2 that affected consistency, school can confirm it etc

that said my ecs + ps are genuinely strong (leadership, internships, long term projects, clear major fit, etc) and my recs are solid

just wondering realistically:

does uic usually give straight yes/no decisions or are conditionals common?

like in a case where grades are a bit lower but there’s context + strong overall profile, is it more likely to be an outright rejection/acceptance, or do they sometimes give conditionals based on finals?

would appreciate any insight 🙏
