i asked my school about setting up internet (emailed as i wont be there for another 2 weeks) and they said it already is. i have to pay 50,000 for internet, electric in the elevator, and general cleaning of public spaces like the hallway. as i've never even heard of such a thing i was curious if this sounds normal.

thanks

In the larger appartment complexes it is fairly common.

₩50000 = ��41 or £27

That is cheap for all those utilities. Considering you are going to be paid anywhere between 2 and 2.5 million Won per month.

u shouldnt be complaining... that's pretty cheap.

i'm not complaining. as i've never lived out of my small town i was just clueless. i didnt know i had to pay for the electric in the elevator.

That's cheap. My officetel (apartment) maintainance fees are well over 100,000 a month (but that includes electricity).
