TYPES OF ACCOMMODATIONS
LIVING WITH KOREAN PEOPLE
More than half of the tenants in most of the places available to rent are Korean. Such a living arrangement allows you the opportunity to start making Korean friends from day one, as well as practice your Korean when you’re home.
AFFORDABLE AND COMFORTABLE
You may wonder what a sharehouse is. A sharehouse is an apartment or home that is shared by a group of people. You can either rent your own private bedroom, or share one with other tenants of the same gender. It’s a great option for affordable and quality housing.
COMMON RULES
In a sharehouse, couples are not, for the most part, allowed to live in the same house. Family and friends are welcome to visit, but cannot stay overnight. As a general rule, it is always best to check with your landlord beforehand! There aren’t curfews held in sharehouses, so you can come and go as you please. Smoking is usually prohibited inside the houses.
YOUR OWN PLACE
If you opt to have your own personal room, it also includes Wi-Fi, a private toilet, shower, bed, and desk. Such goshiwon are open 24 hours a day, so you are free to stay out later and not worry about a curfew or being locked out.
LOW COST OF LIVING
There are no hidden fees in our pricing. The rent for our goshiwon is all-inclusive, covering utilities such as electricity, gas, and water, allowing you to live worry-free and manage your budget easily without any unexpected expenses.
CONVENIENT LOCATION
With regard to accessibility, the goshiwon are located very close to the subway stations, so you will never be too far from where you need to go. Whether it be for shopping, tourism, school, or fun, this location ensures that it will always be convenient for you to explore Korea.
LIVE WITH A GENUINE KOREAN FAMILY
The best way to be immersed in the Korean experience is to live with a Korean family! A homestay is a great way to learn about the Korean society and customs from the moment you arrive, and this can be a great experience for you.
VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
The best way to pick up a language is to practice everyday. Even better for you is the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a home away from home: the family you stay with can help you settle in faster, get to know the neighborhood and city, and best of all, provide you with home-cooked meals twice a day!
COMMON RULES
Living with a host family will also mean living by their rules. Generally, you’d need to be home for dinner each night, and some families may have a curfew after a certain time in the evening. It’s also best to first ask if you’re unsure as to whether you’d be allowed to do something.
RESIDE IN A DYNAMIC DORMITORY
Experience the true essence of Korean living by opting for dormitory accommodation! Choosing a dormitory provides an excellent opportunity to delve into Korean society and customs right from the start, offering you a unique and enriching experience.
COST-EFFECTIVE LIVING
Dormitory arrangements typically involve a fixed monthly fee, encompassing various utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Some dormitories may have specific rules, including curfew times. It’s always advisable to inquire if you have any uncertainties about what is permitted.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN I BOOK A PLACE?
This depends on the type of the place you’ve selected, as well as the landlord. Normally, this process begins about two months prior to your arrival in Korea. However, if you’re already in the country, you can generally move in right away if the accommodation is available.
