Hello! I’m a Ewha graduate and I somehow ran into your channel. I lived in Sg for 2 yrs when i was young. I loved it there, miss Sg sooo much. It is really interesting for me to see Singaporean’s point of view about korea and ewha. Love your videos. Hope you have a 대박 semester here. Ewha welcomes you🌸🥰

[@BURNXICE]

Hi!! woaa it's so amazing how our lives are mirrored! I'm glad that you enjoyed Singapore too! Thank you for your kind comment 🥰 고마워요!

hihi ive asked this on your tiktok before but are you able to share why you chose to stay in the dorm instead of other housing alternatives like sharehouse/airbnb/ goshiwon? (: bc as im aware, the dorms in korean unis (at least for mine that im going for next year) have v strict rules like curfew and not being able to cook/ bring friends over to the room!

[@BURNXICE]

Hi! I made a pros & cons list but I may make a video talking about this in the future :)
-- DORMS --
pros:
- safety (security guards, CCTVs, building security, etc.)
- convenience (getting to school fast, having english-speaking staff for help)
- cleanliness & upkeeping (sometimes housing outside can be hit or miss, with mold issues, etc. but in dorms you can always get someone to fix things)
- space & facilities (the ewha dorms looked really spacious & nice)
- price (is around the same as places i found outside)
- no curfew (for international dorms)
- trash & recycling (you just have to throw them in the right bins, instead of doing your own recycling if you were to stay on your own)
- no need to sign leases or contracts (which could be in Korean)
cons:
- as you said, more rules like no alcohol, no bringing friends over (because of covid), no visiting each other's rooms
- paying for laundry
- demerit point systems (dorms, in ewha at least, have a strict demerit points system and if you accumulate enough, you can get evicted)
- going through other mandatory procedures, like bi-weekly covid tests (which are free)
but for me the pros outweighed the cons as the cons didn't really matter to me that much, so i chose the dorms :)
