2INTERNATIONAL HOUSE (I-HOUSE)

A limited number of on-campus dormitory rooms are available on a first-come first-served basis. If students prefer dormitory housing, they should write ‘dormitory’ below the signatures on the back side of the application form. Rooms will be reserved on a first-come first-served basis. In particular, rooms will be first reserved for students who do not know anyone in Korea or those students who might have difficulties adjusting to life here. One month before the semester begins KLI will let you know whether your dormitory request has been approved.

The dormitory has a shared kitchen and laundry facilities as well as lounge areas and computers. Meals are not provided at the dorm but there are many nearby cafeterias and restaurants. You may also use the refrigerators in the dormitory to store food.

* Please note that all summer session students will stay at the Muak dormitory.

2OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING

There are several options available for housing. An off-campus dormitory called Hasook-jib is very popular with students, both international and domestic.

Hasook-Jib or Go-shi-won

The second option is the off-campus dormitories called Hasook-jib. No deposit or contract is required. Rent is about 400,000 a month, including two meals a day, for your own private room. Just like the on-campus dormitory, there is a shared kitchen and laundry facilities. There is plenty of Hasook-jib in the Sinchon area around Yonsei. Similar to a Hasook-jib is a place called a Go-shi-won. They cost less than Ha-sook-jib (about 300,000 won per month), but do not include meals, and the rooms tend to be considerably smaller.

Apartment or Studio

Another option is to get your own apartment or studio. These are usually arranged through a Korean real estate agent. Generally, you have to pay a large deposit fee (minimum of 5,000,000 won), sign a one-year contract, and then pay about 500,000 won per month. The high deposit fee makes this option difficult for the majority of students.
