hi - my school is making a hash of accomodation search and I have a few questions about using a goshiwon as a base for 1-2 months.

I know they're small and all that but I could cope for a few weeks. Also, I'd save on bills and all that.

I'm concerned about impact on Alien Card and Bank Accounts etc of not having a 'proper' address.

Has anyone tried this and did they encounter any problems?

Help appreciated by PM or to the forum.

I lived in one of those closets for a month.
Paper thin walls, feet AND head touching the walls when you sleep,
and all that storage space!
It's a roof over your head, but seriously after the first two weeks you'll feel some psychological effects. I started peeing on he floor and drooling at night.

Psycholigal effects I can handle - I'm already insane so it can't get any worse.


I'm really asking about consequences of not having a proper address.


Can anybody comment on these?

Why don't you use your schools address for your bank account?
