Missed dorm deadline, looking for budget off-campus housing advice near Songdo (~300k KRW budget)
Hi everyone,
I'm a freshman starting at Utah Asia Campus this Fall. I made a mistake during application and applied for main campus housing instead of UAC, and now the male dorms in Songdo are completely full for the start of the semester.
My budget is strictly around 300'000KRW/month (around 220USD/month). I know central Songdo officetels are way out of that range, so I'm looking into off-campus Goshiwons / student living-tels nearby (like Yeonsu-gu / Dongchun).
Questions for current/past UAC students:
-Have any of you lived off-campus in a Goshiwon near campus or 2–3 subway stops away?
-Do UAC students have a KakaoTalk group or Discord where people look for off-campus roommates/room-shares?
-Are there any recommendations based on personal experience? If so could you give advices?
-How is the commute from nearby areas like Yeonsu-gu to the IGC campus?
Would appreciate every reply.
