r/StudyinKorea

I was wanting to know how it’s like in Korea, I have an opportunity to go and live there for a year and study. I believe it’ll be at KU, this will be when I’m 20 so it’s not immediately. I just wanted to know what it’s like culture wise and if I need to know anything. I want to skate quite a bit and go to some break dancing shows, I’ve heard it’s legal there to skate but frowned upon and didn’t know if I could only use a skatepark or not. Also wanted to know how much I should have? My school is making me bring at least 15k USD but I don’t know if that’s enough? Any advice or things to look into would be nice. I’ll be there from August until the end of my junior year.

How bad is it? Specially in STEM and upper-level business classes.

For English courses open to exchange students, how feasible is it to get good grades studying 4-5 hours a day?
