Accomodation in Seoul for Summer Exchange 2015 (Sungkyunkwan University, SKKU)

(Video tour of the room and neighborhood.)

We had a great time staying here for the past 1 month, love our "home" in Seoul!
Am glad that we choose to stay outside of school than staying in SKKU's dormitory.
SKKU's dormitory has curfew! Not sure how strict there are about it.
 Also, staying outside is the same price as staying in the dom plus you get to choose your roommate!
Will be cheaper if you have more people staying together.

Our host, Taeyoung was there to pick us up from sinseoldong station exit 4 when we arrived by airport limousine bus and showed us around the neighborhood.

The place is comfortable and perfect for 2 person, almost everything we needed were provided.
And the plus point is they are providing free portable wifi now! (They didn't have it during our stay.)

Korea Summer Exchange 2015 - Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU)

Videos are mostly taken by Steffi. So there's only first 3 weeks of our life in Seoul.

Really enjoyed ourselves and will recommend our peers to go! But it will be better if you know more locals. Went during the Mers period and 2/3 of the people from NTU actually redraw from the summer exchange. =(

Will try to come up with a more detail post, like what courses I cleared, where I stay and stuff.
