Hello!

I just got the contract for a school located next to Seoul Women's university. I've done some research online but I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on what that area is like and some info on Nowon? By info I mean is it a nice area to live, good restaurants, good shopping, good nightlife, clean etc...

Any help would be really appreciated!

Cheers, Mitch.[/url]

There's not really much right around the university itself. Your best bet is to head to Nowon station, lots of eating, shopping, and even a few places where expats hangout.

I like Nowon, and wish I could live up there. My wife, however, has no interest in being so far away from her Chungdam business world.

Housing prices in Nowon are a bit better, and to be perfectly honest, I've always felt that people up there grow more friendly the further out you get from the center of Seoul.

Nowon Station will provide you with everything you need. The key is meeting other people who live in the area.

Hwa Rang?

Very nice school. Everything first class. Lunches best in Korea.

I worked there 3 years.

3 stops to lines 6/7 then 4 stops to Nowan.

You can use the SWU bus for 100 won.
