Doubles are pretty much the norm. You should definitely check the bathrooms that your dorm has because that could be a real dealbreaker. Some Korean bathrooms have you shower over the toilet like an all-in-one that gets everything wet. Mine (thankfully) has a separate shower and toilet space but many don't.

I had a single dorm on campus. The dorms were first come first serve so I had to log onto the server a few minutes before we had to apply for housing (I know it would go quick) to select a single. Many people told me not to bother since it's really hard but if you have fast internet it shouldn't be a problem. I loved my experience. Korea is awesome, and everyone is nice. The food is cheap, traveling around Asia is convenient, and you'll grow very close to the other exchange students. I had a friend who lived in a goshiwon in Sinchon and it was cheaper, yet smaller. PM me if you have any additional questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*kukuri* 2 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I studied in Keimyung last semester ( not in seoul, in daegu). I stayed in school's dormitory and it was not a very good experience for me. I had some friends who lived in apartments and they said it was cheaper to stay in off-campus. However, going to Korea for education was the best decision I made since the teachers were very helpful and lovely and it is a very beautiful country.
