I am plan on leaving for Korea with a job by this January of 2011. I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with applying to EPIK and if so, when would be a good time to put in my application for my anticipated departure date? Any accurate help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I applied for the August intake on January 29th, which was probably a little on the early side but it did me no harm having an abundance of time to get documents together etc. With that in mind, perhaps September/October? Look at it this way, if you've decided on applying to EPIK, why not apply as soon as possible?

The public school year doesn't start until March in Korea. So when you are planning take that into consideration.

Does EPIK give you the option to live in an officetel, or do you live with several other teachers in a suite?
