I can't seem to find much information on the school/ neighbourhood/ living accommodation from any sources other than the recruiter and school itself.
Do you know of this school or its neighbourhood? If so, please message me. Thanks! |

Well, thanks for the link, but their website is part of 'the school itself'. |

In that case, where did the recruiter or school tell you you'd live if you worked for that school?
Copy and paste this in Google and you'll find the location of that school on the map. 서울시 광진구 광장동 333번지 R-S빌딩
You can even look it up in Google Earth. I just did and the first result in the search was the correct one. |

| I live in Gwangjin-gu, at the Guui subway station. Not a bad gu to live in, although it's my first year here so I really haven't lived anywhere else. My area is close to Gundae and there are a ton of restaraunts right behind my building. I wish it was a little closer to Hongdae/Itaewon but at least it's on the same subway line. You can PM me if you have any questions. |

I did not. Doing interviews with hagwons was useful practice for later on, but I could never get a clear image of any given school. So I went with a public school outside Seoul. Living outside Seoul was a mistake, but I don't regret having avoided teaching with a hagwon, without personally knowing a current teacher at the given place.
I spoke over telephone with a (then) current teacher at this hagwon, and on the basis of facebook pictures he seemed like a stereotypical Itaewon party guy, someone in his older twenties still living like he's an undergraduate. Probably not a bad guy, but not someone I'd really want to work with. Now that I've been here, I think that approach to living here and teaching may be very common in Korea, even among public school teachers. Still, to have had SOME foreign co-workers would have been nice, since in my current position I don't. I'll be happy to leave Korea and move on. |

Wow, I'm sorry you haven't had the best experience.
I'm going to keep that in mind. I'm kind of more open to the ungrad living thing, only because I am going to be trying a lot to save money. I can understand not wanting to work with people who want to party all the time. |
