I've been given the option to take a school with roughly the same conditions and pay in each of these cities.

I'm clueless as to Korean urban life, and I was wondering if anybody can give me some feed back on these three cities? If you're familiar with one or two, which do you prefer, and why?

Thanks again

I assume you are talking about Hanam City. I lived there for three years. It's a got a small Korean town vibe to it but it also happens to be about 30 minutes from the outskirts of Seoul. It has a great little foreigner community out there and lots of nature walks etc. That being said it is a refined taste and not everyone enjoys it.

Bundang and Suwon are to a certain extent a bit interchangeable in that they are your typical Korean satellite city.

No. Bundang is way nicer than Suwon if you're choosing between the two.

I've visited all three and my impression is that Bundang is a much nicer place to live in if I were a newbiee....
