Any information on working for Center for Language Research and Instruction, Dongguk University would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this the Dong Kuk in ChungJu?

If so, it is a smallish college/university - at least for this country. It is a bit out of town across the main road to Cheongju from ChungJu National University - in kind of a university community area.

I just wanted to comment on ChungJu itself. Beautiful countryside, no traffic jams, clean air - a pretty good place to live.

However, if you are young and want to party most of the time and have a hard time being away from western food (McDonald's is IT in this town), you may not enjoy it here. There aren't many foreigners, but generally the population seems very pleasant and welcoming.

I'm sure there must be more, but sometimes it seems like there must be no more than 20 foreigners here - and most of us know only a handful.

I really like it here - but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. You may not get much comment on the university as it is quite small. Some colleges/universities have branches though - and you may be referring to a main branch somewhere?

Good luck in your search.
