Living in South Korea?

It is possible to enroll in a South Korean university, but there aren't many scholarhips, so you'll need to fund your own education and living expenses, anywhere from $10,000-$25,000 a year depending on where you live and study. You can make $30+ an hour teaching English lessons privately, but this is illegal. If you're caught, you're deported immediately. South Korean universities offer some English courses, but the selection is not great. Friends of mine spent two years learning Korean first at a university language center before enrolling in courses. Think carefully about your major. South Korea is a good place to study nursing but not psychology as East Asian approaches to the field differ greatly from Western Europe and North America.
