I’m glad you found it helpful! Thank you so much for watching :)

First of all, congrats! I think what I would recommend doing is to start looking at off-campus options that you'd be interested in. Would you prefer to find an AirBnB to stay in alone? A goshiwon? Would you look for roommates? Figure out what your plan would be IF you weren't to get into a dorm. If you have already found places/people that you'd like to stay at/with in the event that you don't dorm, start to arrange those options. I would still apply for on-campus housing, since you can always decide not to take it when/if the offer comes. You should have enough time from when you start looking to when you hear back about the dorms to figure out or even start booking your accommodation plans/preferences. As for traveling alone, I think you've picked a great country to start it in! My tips would be to save offline versions of Papago in Korean and English (or any other language you'd use), bookmark every possible location you'd be interested in visiting ahead of time, and to keep a portable battery with you at all times. Obviously, you should always be aware of your surroundings and study up on the language as much as possible, but generally speaking, I think if you have got translation and navigations apps on your phone with an extra charge on you, you'll always have the tools to help you stay cool and confident while traveling. Best of luck on your housing (it'll turn out okay, no matter what you end up doing) and I hope you have a great time in Korea this spring :))

@ thank you so much!! i’m looking forward to it :))

Thank you :))

Thank you so much!

I’m so glad to hear that! Spring in Seoul will be SO exciting and I hope you have a wonderful time 😊

Thank you so much for watching! We went in late August (I think it was the 26th?) and I would say the temperature and humidity was perfectly mild. However, that was most likely because it was just as a typhoon was hitting southern Japan, and some of the rain was cooling everything down.

I can’t wait either! Thank you so much for watching :)

Thank you so much! I'm not sure if I've ever been referred to as "cool," so that really means a lot to me lol :)

Hi! I would say we probably spent about 2 - 2.5 hours there, since we also had lunch there.

@@lynneguine thank you so much! I will need to manage my time there too…

There’s definitely a universe somewhere in which this is my everyday

We love the endless green :) thank you so much for watching!

Highly recommend for any major trip lol :) Thank you so much for watching!

Good luck!! I hope you'll be rewatching this as a refresher next summer when you're officially going (bc I'll be manifesting it for you :))

I'm so glad to hear that! Luckily some parts of Japan are a little bit more temperate compared to Seoul lol.. but it's always safer to prepare for all seasons! I hope you have a great a time abroad 🥰

Thank you for watching!

Hi! I’m so excited for you! Actually, I recently made a video going more in depth about those sorts of things (“Everything to know about studying abroad in Korea”). I talked about my experiences with my friend Allison, who’s coincidentally also going to Korea University this fall! If you wanted to check that video out (it’s a bit long, but I have timestamps and a transcript), I hope it’ll answer some of your questions :))

No, thank YOU so much for watching! I really hope that you'll be able to go soon :)

Aaaah how exciting! Thank you so much for watching and I hope this helped you sort out a few pre-departure details. Have the best time!

omg me too!!!!

Thank you so much for watching! The transportation was definitely not AS BAD as I think some people make it out to be (at least for my expectations), but it could definitely end up being a challenge depending on what's on your itinerary. If you decide to stick in one area/around one major bus route like I did on Day 2, you should have no problems. I absolutely loved my time in Jeju so I hope you have the best time too!

No, I didn't need a Korean number to reserve it! I'm not sure if it's changed in the past year, but last year, I was able to book it on the website while I was in the US, when I didn't have a Korean SIM card yet. I think you'll need your visa issued because it'll probably ask for your visa number and info, but I believe that was it.

Hi! I actually used a physical SIM card, so I’m not particularly sure about the best e sim options. Everyone I knew was also on a physical sim, so unfortunately I don’t have much to go off of in recommendations.

Oooh I would love to! I might try and see if there's a way for me to make my lists public/downloadable without exposing my personal Naver account, so I can't give anything just now, but I'll definitely come back with an update!

Thank you so much for your support! I'm so glad to hear that :)) Good luck on your exchange this fall! I wish you the best.

Hi! Yes, I did end up packing both the full suitcase and the carry-on (as well as my backpack and purse) to their fullest on my way back. I definitely recommend having that much free space, or at least anticipate that you'll need it and be okay with buying more luggage if you don't go over with it. I had a few friends who even needed to buy two additional suitcases for volume of stuff they had to take back with them. Thank you again for watching and good luck!
