Why did you choose to study in Korea?
First, the economy is developed and the prospects for graduation are good.
The world economic center is shifting to Asia. South Korea has developed rapidly in recent decades, and economic and trade exchanges between China and South Korea have become increasingly frequent. South Korea is committed to exploring the huge market in China, and its investment in China is increasing year by year. Korean companies urgently need a large number of professionals who are proficient in Chinese and Korean languages and have a background in studying abroad.
Second, the academic level is high and the professional setting is comprehensive.

Semiconductor, shipbuilding, textile, household appliances, automobile manufacturing and other professional standards are very high, while computer applications, economics, business is definitely first-class in Asia. Korea also has a strong artistic atmosphere. It is a famous fashion capital in Asia and even the world, and its clothing and luxury design majors are very famous.
Third, choose your major freely and enter the university easily.
According to Korean laws, both public and private higher education institutions must accept the supervision of the Ministry of Education. Similar to China, Korean students are strictly restricted from entering universities, so the competition is fierce. But it is much easier for international students, and there is no harsh entrance examination. As long as you pass the corresponding Korean proficiency test (IK), you can apply for higher education institutions, including universities.
Fourth, the government encourages work-study programs, and both academic qualifications and money are rewarded.
The Korean government stipulates that foreign students who have studied in Korea for more than 1 year are allowed to work legally from February 1 day, 2002. This makes it easy for young people who want to live independently to complete their studies on their own. International students can work legally if they are promoted to undergraduate or graduate after reading the language and get a D2 visa.
Five, a variety of generous scholarships
Korean schools provide generous scholarships for students, and international students who enter Korean universities can basically enjoy 30% to 50% tuition reduction. Scholarships for master's programs are more generous.
6. Chinese and Korean cultures are similar and the cost of studying abroad is low.
North Korea is located in the northeast of the Asian continent, adjacent to China. Its culture is quite close, the four seasons are distinct, and the climate is refreshing and pleasant. China students can quickly adapt to Korean life. The consumption level of Seoul, South Korea is comparable to that of big cities in China, even lower than that of Shanghai.

Further reading: How to solve the accommodation problem when studying in Korea?
First, the number of dormitories is small
Colleges and universities in South Korea will provide dormitories for students. The number of dormitories in private universities will be more and the number of public universities will be less, but overall, due to the limitation of land area, it is still not enough.
Public universities will be more favored by international students because of lower tuition fees, which means that international students will have fewer choices, and most students can only be forced to rent houses around the school.
Therefore, if you want to stay successfully, you can only apply as soon as possible, but you can only apply for a dormitory after you get the admission notice. You need to pay close attention to your email and apply immediately after receiving the offer.
Second, renting a house is expensive.
For freshmen, if they want to find a relatively safe house that meets the requirements in all aspects under unfamiliar circumstances, the price is definitely not cheap, and because they can't see the house on the spot, they have great limitations.
Although renting a house in Korea can be paid monthly, non-local residents, especially international students, need to pay an inexpensive deposit, usually a quarterly rent.
If you choose to rent a house, you can find an acquaintance to help you see the house, so that you can understand all aspects more thoroughly. With an acquaintance as a guarantee, you can pay less deposit.
Thirdly, there are many types of choices.
In addition, even if you rent a house, you can choose a variety of types such as apartment environment, homestay atmosphere, and cost performance of the examination institute to meet different needs.
For students with better conditions, apartments are a natural choice, because there will be separate bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, where everyone can live a happy life.
If students have poor adaptability, they can live in homestays, where there will be more family divisions and better care for students; As a cost-effective choice, the environment will naturally be relatively poor.
