South Korea's excellent living environment and developed economic conditions are welcomed and favored by many domestic students. So what's life like studying in Korea? Let me give you a detailed introduction!

A detailed introduction to the real life of studying in Korea

First, public safety.

South Korea's overall public security is still very good, and violent incidents are rarely seen, mainly due to several factors:

(1) Korean nationals are of high quality, with a college degree below 2%.

(2) The income gap in South Korea is small. No matter what industry, the income gap of ordinary people is not large, so social security is relatively stable.

(3) Cameras all over the streets have greatly reduced the crime rate.

In fact, in many big cities in China, where there are many cameras, the crime rate is also very low, and even thieves have no room to play, because everything will be found, just like South Korea.

Second, the natural environment

South Korea has a temperate monsoon climate in the north and a subtropical climate in the south, with remarkable maritime characteristics. Winter is long and cold, summer is hot and humid, and spring and autumn are relatively short. The lowest temperature in winter is-12℃, and the highest temperature in summer is 37℃. The average annual precipitation is about 1 500mm, of which the rainfall from June to August is relatively large, accounting for 70% of the whole year. The annual average precipitation is about 1, 500mm, and the precipitation decreases gradually from south to north.

Generally speaking, the climate is pleasant, but the humidity in Jeju Island is relatively high, and many elderly people will be infected with rheumatism. Winter on the Korean peninsula will not be too cold, so there will be many scenes of barefoot slippers under down jackets in the street, but there is still no frozen map. It will be very hot for a few days in summer, and schools and companies will have high temperature holidays.

Generally speaking, Korea is quite clean. White shoes will be brushed once after a long time, and the skin will become very good.

Third, public facilities.

What impressed me the most in Korea is that as long as it is not outdoor, air conditioning and WIFI are extremely satisfying. It's too hot to walk, so go to the ATM to get some money, just like going to the refrigerator.

The infrastructure is also relatively perfect. Most young international students will feel comfortable with convenience stores, libraries and bright lights at night. In short, they are more suitable for studying abroad.

So it's a bit like Shanghai in China, with similar green plant coverage, infrastructure and climate.

Fourth, life is convenient.

This has its own advantages, and it is very developed at home and abroad, and there are many kinds of food. In Korea, you can also order takeout, which is quick, but it may be pizza, fried chicken, noodles with dregs and soup rice.

But for Korean landlords, the good thing is that there are many coffee shops, and you can drink good quality coffee wherever you go; There are many 24-hour convenience stores with better service and more comfortable shopping.

Verb (short for verb) culture

Living in a foreign country, cultural attributes are very important, because everyone should do as the Romans do. Even if you want to be the most special yourself, you can't turn a blind eye to the courtesy of others. Korea is very polite and even makes some students feel very tired.

University professors also often organize some dinners. Foreign students who have just arrived in Korea must go online to see the benefits of toasting professors and avoid embarrassment.

How to save money by studying in Korea?

1. Choose a national university

The tuition fee of state universities is about 6,543.8+0,000 ~ 6,543.8+0.3 million per semester, and that of private universities is about 25,000 RMB per semester. Tuition in state universities is more than half cheaper than that in private universities.

Most national universities are located in local areas, and their daily expenses and living costs are much lower than those in Seoul.

There are many dormitories in national universities. Generally, I rent a house in Seoul and save a lot of money in my life.

There is no admission fee for the first semester of national universities, and the admission fee for the first semester of private universities will be about 5,000 yuan.

2. Choose a humanities major

In addition to the great difference between national universities and private universities, the tuition fees in Korea also vary greatly due to different majors. General humanities and social sciences, science and engineering and art are more expensive.

3. Learn Korean well

Korean scores are not only helpful for admission, but also helpful for getting scholarships. Many schools reduce the tuition fee for the first semester according to the grade of Korean scores, and some schools can reduce the full tuition fee for the first semester at Korean level 6. Moreover, if you learn Korean well, you will get a scholarship more easily if you get good grades and adapt to the entrance in the future.

part-work and part-study (as a way to receive one's schooling)

South Korea allows international students to work legally. After half a year, international students can apply for a work permit and work part-time legally, but the working hours per week are limited, generally no more than 20 hours.

Common occupations of amateur study in Korea

1. Mentor

Tutoring is a very good job, which can not only improve your oral and communication skills, but also indirectly improve your professional level. Most importantly, the salary of tutor is relatively high.

There are many types of tutors to choose from. Chinese teachers are the most popular among domestic students, because more and more Koreans are learning Chinese now, and there is a high demand for Chinese teachers.

Finding such a job can be carried out through a reliable part-time intermediary, which is more secure and convenient for safeguarding rights.

2. Tour guide

Many people travel to Korea every year. Chinese-speaking tour guides or China-born tour guides will be more popular, and you can enjoy free travel while leading everyone.

In the process of explaining, you can fully exercise your spoken Korean and adaptability, and you can also learn a lot of traditional knowledge about Korea.

3. Waiter

Of course, the common occupation is waiter, and the service industry is the most widely distributed job. Whether it is a store, a bar or a restaurant, the requirements for waiters are very high.

However, the work in the service industry is very tiring, which is basically not helpful for your own study, but you can improve your oral communication ability in the process of interacting with people.
