Extended reading: What are the misunderstandings about studying in Korea?

1. National universities are cheap and good! The first choice national university to study in South Korea!

The truth: In fact, among Korean universities, national universities account for a small proportion. Except for Seoul National University, other national universities are not ranked very high, so 90% of them in Korea are private universities, such as Yonsei University, Korea University, etc. Of course, most universities in Korea have requirements for essay revision and polishing. No matter how great your first draft is, you will be asked to revise it.

2. It is difficult to graduate from Korean universities. When you graduate, professors will delay your graduation in order to let you pay a few more semesters of tuition!

The truth: The difficulty of graduating from Korean universities is similar to that in China. If you complete the credits you should take and actively deal with your graduation thesis, you will graduate successfully. There are really very few cases of not graduating on time. Most of them happen to students who often miss classes, and the amount of tuition paid is not directly related to the professor.

3. You are not allowed to work with a Korean student visa!

Truth: In South Korea, international students can work part-time, and basically all international students are working part-time. On the one hand, it is to relieve family pressure, and on the other hand, it is to exercise one's adaptability and language skills. There are also many international students who stay in South Korea to work during the holidays. Basically, the money they earn can be used to pay for the next semester's tuition fees after deducting living expenses. When you are a student, making huge sums of money is a very fulfilling thing.

4. To enter South Korea, you must have good grades and a high degree of education!

Truth: Among the undergraduates, the top 10 in Korea can apply if they pass IK scores, and it is not difficult to enter. Sungkyunkwan University, Korea University, etc. can apply with IK level 4; Chung-Ang University and Hanyang University can apply without IK, and the admission rate is very high.

If you want to apply for graduate school, Seoul National University generally requires 985 or 211 background, but other universities do not need to consider their school of origin.

With GPA and IK IELTS scores of double 6, the application success rate is very high.

5. Dormitories in South Korea are cheap and good!

Truth: In fact, more than 80 students will choose to live off campus. The cost is similar to the dormitory, and they have more convenient living conditions. For example, there is no curfew, you can cook, work part-time or hang out with classmates, which is very convenient. Dormitories are more suitable for students who have just arrived in Korea and are not accustomed to the environment for transition.

6. You can withdraw it after depositing the deposit certificate!

The truth: The certificate of deposit is a certificate used by the Korean Consulate to determine that you can pay your living expenses within one year. Banks generally have only two ways to unfreeze the certificate after issuing the certificate of deposit: one is to automatically expire, The second is to take the deposit certificate to the bank to unfreeze it, but the deposit certificate has been handed over to the school, and the school has handed it over to the visa center, so it cannot be withdrawn!

7. Koreans are very chauvinistic!

Truth: On the contrary, Koreans are very gentle and kind. If you travel to Korea and ask a Korean for directions, he will really take you to where you want to go. When the poster was studying in Korea, he never saw Koreans fighting. Of course, some uncles and aunts are really irritable when they talk, but after getting along with them for a long time, you will find that they are very kind people.
