My school provided me with a brand new 25 pyeong, 3 bedroom, 2 full bath apartment. It's loaded with state of the art gadgets and a larger kitchen than most new homes in Canada.
Isn't this the norm? |
25 pyeong 3 bedrooms? Could you fit a mattress in even one of them? I'm in a 23 pyeong 1 bedroom and I shudder to imagine 2 more rooms and 2 more pyeong added on to this. 
To answer your question OP, the best housing would be the one that you choose on your own and your school pays the deposit and rent on. Most schools don't usually do that since they already have housing set up from previous instructors, so it's sort of luck of the draw. Ask for photographs, check out the area on Google Maps or Daum, and see if you can get the teacher who's leaving to give you a Skype tour. |
There is a significant difference between officetell and apartment pyeong. Unfortunately you must live in an officetell as a 25 pyung apartment is a decent size.
But obviously,the first poster was being sarcastic. I actually did know a couple who lived in a new Lotte Castle apartment since they were located in a new town and taught at a pre school located in the apartment grounds. |
I did not know that. Thanks!
Funny, I lived in a Lotte castle apartment for a year. Your friend was probably doing a similar thing to what I did. |

Samsung's SHRDC used to offer quite nice apartments in Bundang. You had to take a company bus to the campus in Yongin next to Everland.
Bundang's a nice place to live and the apartments, as you might guess, were stocked with Samsung appliances, even full-size stoves in some. |
