I would like to ask about the Seoul National University application.

Hello, I'm Min Thida. I'm currently in high school in October and I want to go to Seoul National University in Korea. I want to know the step-by-step process of applying to the admissions office for biomedical engineering. I'm not sure if I need to apply separately to take the language course or if I can apply with the main application. I heard that the tuition is high, but I want to know exactly how much it is, and what type of requirements are needed to get a scholarship. I only have about topik1... I also want to know if the language requirement is necessarily higher level. Or should I take another language course? Please advise. For those who want to go to school, what are 수시, 정시. Now, I don't know what changes the school's processes are due to the pandemic... Please help me.

ကျောင်းရွေးတာ ဘယ်လိုစဉ်းစားရမလဲ

မင်္ဂလာပါ ခင်ဗျာ။ ကိုရီးယားမှာ သားသမီးထပ်တိုးလေ့လာဖို့ စဉ်းစားနေတဲ့ alumni တစ်ယောက်ပါ။ ကျောင်းရွေးချင်တယ် ဆိုပေမယ့် program quality, location, 학비, တင်သွင်းလာတဲ့ အခြေအနေနဲ့ သဘောမတူဖြစ်နေရပါတယ်။ 입학처 ကို email ပို့တယ်ဆိုပေမယ့် တချို့ကျောင်းတွေက လျင်မြန်အောင် reply မပေးတာလဲ သဘောမတူဘူး။ 편입 လုပ်ဖို့လည်း option တွေကြည့်နေသေးတယ်။ အကြောင်းကြားတယ်ဆိုရင်도, 어학당 ကနေ တက်မလား, 아니면 수시, 정시 လျှောက်ရမလား စိတ်မသေဘူး။ နောက်ထပ် application တွေလည်း deadline ကွာခြားနေတော့ ခေါင်းမူးနေတယ်။ တစ်ယောက်ယောက် အကြံဥာဏ်လေးမျှဝေပေးနိုင်မလားခင်ဗျာ။

I would like to ask about music education at Sejong University.

Hello. I am from Naypyidaw. I will be going to Korea soon to study Music Production at Sejong University and would like to ask about the details. I don’t know what documents are required for admission. Some say that they are 정시, and some say 수시. What is the difference? I don’t know if people like me who don’t speak Korean can apply to the language school or if they can apply directly. I heard that the tuition and fees are high. I am also interested in whether these are true and what other scholarships I can apply for... I would be very grateful if you could explain what else I should do.

I need advice on applying to Hankuk University of Foreign Languages.

Hello. I am a final year English student in Mandalay. I want to continue my master's in international relations at 한국외국어대학국. I am currently looking at the admissions website and I see that there are various programs, tuition fees and registration fees for each program are different. I don't know how to get a scholarship opportunity. I want to choose a school, but I think the prices in Seoul are too high, so I am very disappointed... I would also like to know the difference between 편입 and regular admission (수시, 정시). I am also wondering what is the best option if I go to 어학당. Can you tell me how to prepare realistically for seniors?

Has anyone ever applied to Jeonnam National University?

Hello. I am studying in Mandalay with an IT diploma. I am thinking of applying to Jeonnam University for Data Science. I am looking at the admissions website and I am confused about the requirements, so I would like to ask for advice. I would like to know if I can apply with just TOPIK1, or should I go to a language school? It would be good to know how much the tuition and fees are. I also don't know if I can apply directly from Mandalay. When do you start accepting applications and applications... I don't understand each one, so if you know the general idea, please let me know.

About the International Student Education Program for Myanmar Mothers and Daughters

Hello. I am trying to get my daughter admitted to Central University. I heard that she will have to take a foreign language course first. If she takes that course, can you tell me what to prepare for and when to apply for a visa? I would like to ask you to prepare everything for my daughter in the traditional way.

Are there any community apps for Korean international students?

Hey, if I go to Dongguk University, I would like to know if there are any apps or websites that are popular with international students in Korea. If there are any apps that are easy to connect with, not just Facebook groups, please tell me. I'm worried about not being recognized if I go in person.

Please ask about the length of stay in Korea.

I am planning to send my daughter to study at 중국대학교. I would like to know what the living conditions are like in Korea. I am also worried about whether it will be easy to live there and whether there will be any difficulties with food and drink. Also, since I have to carry my own things, I would like to know what I can buy at convenience stores and 다시소. I would also like to ask if it will be difficult for my daughter to eat by herself.

Easy to eat in Korea

Guys... I've been in Korea for about five months now. I have a hard time eating breakfast. I always go to the convenience store to buy it. I can't make it at home like I used to. It's also hard to find Myanmar style breakfasts. Sometimes I try to eat at 다이소, but... I'd like to hear any tips.

Tips for living in Korea

Hello, I have been living in Korea for over a year and would like to know how people live their day to day lives. I am an alumni, but my friends say that they are bored with eating out at home. In Korea, we often use convenience stores and 다이소. We also often use delivery services. For transportation, it is convenient to use T-money, but sometimes we get lost. Please share some useful tips from your own experience.

I have a question about the admission procedures and daily life at a Korean foreign language university.

Hello. My daughter wants to attend a foreign language university in South Korea, and as her father, I'm gathering information. I've heard that the application process in South Korea is different from the Japanese system of "susi" and "jeongsi." I would appreciate it if you could clearly explain the application process, required documents, and timeline. Also, the application websites are mostly in Korean, which is frankly confusing, and I'd like to know the approximate costs of tuition (deungro) and living expenses, including dormitory fees. My daughter speaks Korean at a conversational level, but I'm unsure whether she should apply through an "e-hakdang" (language school) or apply directly to a department. Furthermore, if you have any experience with living in South Korea, I would appreciate information on things like the availability of support and consultation services for Japanese students, safety, and how to handle illness. I apologize for the lack of coherence, but I would like to hear the honest opinions of those with experience.

Yeonsei University admission and application materials

Guys, I want to study Computer Science at Yeonsei University. The English information on the admissions website is a bit confusing. What kind of documents do international students need? I'm about to graduate from 12th grade, and I only have TOPIK1. Do I need to take any additional tests? What are the tuition fees and scholarship opportunities, and is it easy to get into a dormitory? How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Seoul, or is it possible to live in a dorm for the first year? If anyone knows, please explain step by step? I'm thinking... I'm thinking about many questions.

I would like to know about the admission procedures and tuition fees for Yonsei University.

Hi, I'm Sato, and I'm aiming to attend the Department of International Relations at Yonsei University starting next year. This will be my first time attending a university in Korea, so I'm honestly not sure where to start gathering information. I've looked at the admissions website, but the required documents and application schedule are completely different from Japanese universities, which is confusing. I'm also really worried about the tuition fees... I've heard that Yonsei is more expensive than other universities, but how does it compare to private universities in Tokyo? I'm also wondering if I should consider admission via a language program or transfer admission. I'm also undecided about where to live, between Sinchon and Gangnam, and accessibility is important, right? I'm thinking about so many things that I'm starting to get confused. For those of you who have actually attended university in Korea, what was it like?

How to prepare for the Korean Language Proficiency Test (TOPIK)

This is my first time asking a question. My daughter wants to attend a foreign language university in Korea, and I understand that she needs to score well on the Korean Language Proficiency Test (TOPIK) as an admission requirement. I would like to know specifically which level is required, and what kind of study methods are effective for preparing for the exam. I would also appreciate any advice on the process in Korea, such as the exam format and testing centers. As a parent, I would like to know if there is anything I can do to support her.
