Sorry to keep molesting this forum with questions, but I was wondering how big people's apartments are. My hubby and I are going to share housing in either Busan or Changwon, but we don't want to bump elbows. I'd be very interested to know how big they get, especially if you share housing with your significant other.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I have checked out youtube before for the apartments, but I didn't find too many for Changwon or Busan. That's why I was hoping to get some more feedback. I guess it's kinda a crap shoot, but it'd be interesting to know about other couple's housing.

Moved in to my partner's medium officetel....which is one room, meant for one person. It's not as small as my previous home, but it's not big enough for two. It's a tight squeeze, but in the end it's been great. I think it you can manage to sacrifice a year or so in tight quarters, you'll laugh about it later.

I'm guessing, but it's probably about 10 by 15 feet. Not including a small entranceway and a bathroom.

Chances of being placed in a place like ours is slim if you are upfront about being a couple who want to live together, but you might expect some disapproval if you're not married. I know you haven't asked about that, but just wanted you to know.

Best of luck.

For couples housing you would probably end up in a larger 1 room officetel (400-600 sq.ft.) or a 2 room villa of comparable size.

If you get anything bigger or better, consider it a big bonus and gift from heaven.
