i have bought my own plane ticket to korea so i have 2 pretty basic questions here
first - standard procedure for the school to reimburse the ticket upon arrival/signing of contract right?? even just the one way fare and the return upon completion (even though my ticket is a return with a year, cheaper that way)
second - i've seen a clause in some contracts that says if you leave the school for any reason before the year is up you have to repay the airfare, is this standard?? i've also seen it as if you leave before 6mos, which seems fairer to me...not that i'm planning on leaving a contract before a year but you never know what happens and i don't want to be responsible for a huge bill

Six months is standard for the repayment of airfares. Re-imbursment is something you would negotiate with the school at your interview. Get it clearly stated how they will repay your airfare.
