What is the student lifestyle like in Seoul?

They always enjoy everything.

Many students go to the amusement park, theater, karaoke, club and other things too. I think everything is in Seoul.

At morning and afternoon, they have to go school and when school is finished, they go to some place to enjoy their life.

How much does it cost to live in Seoul?

I think Seoul's price is little bit higher than other city.

For example, Big Mac set in McDonald's is near 5~6euro and water is less than 1 euro.

And trasportation such as subway and bus's price is near 1euro as well.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Seoul? Is there any advice you can give?

Not difficult. Near the university or company, there are always accommodation. If you can not find a accommodation, I recommend dormitory in university.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

In Seoul, they have any kind of dishes, but I recommend our Korean food. There are many market such as 'Namdaemun market', 'Tongin market' and etc. If you go there, you can eat many many things about Korean food.

What places would you recommend visiting in Seoul?

Of course'Kyungbokgung'. That is Korean castle and that have really long history. So when you visit there, you can learn korean history as well.

As I told you before, I recommend the korean markets, near university, 'Itaewon'.

Is the nightlife good in Seoul? Where is good to go?

Near university, there are hot spots to enjoy nightlife. And Korea is really safe country, so you can walk around Seoul all night. I recommend 'Hongdae, in the Hongik University station', 'Sinchon station', 'Kondae ipkoo in Konkuk university station' and 'Gangnam'.

What advice would you give future students heading to Seoul?

Every Korean is really helpful and kind. But they are so shy and alert to someone who do not know. So if they look like indifferent, they are not. I recommend that you go to them first. Then, they treat you really kind.
