				| Hi expats. I've done some research on HUFS and found some pretty negative things in this forum about the campus. I was wondering if anyone had any up to date information about HUFS (Please keep any snobbish or derogatory remarks to yourself). Thanks to anyone willing to help me. 
 Matt

				| This is a job-related discussion forum, but I can that I should have been more specific about my question... I was just wondering what the working environment is like. |  |

				| Hey, sorry, I didn't realize it was in the job discussion forum.  I've never worked there, so I can't answer your question.  But I love the area and lots of good restaurants. |  |

 Thanks friend.... I'm so screwed. Although I will be part of a new department, which I might mean it won't be too bad.

				| The language institute ("unigwon") has improved alot in the past year or so with the new director. They advertise a lot because they've been expanding lately, not because people quit in droves. If you have a department job, good for you! Everyone I know there is happy with the conditions. 
 As for the neighbourhood, it's not the nicest part of Seoul, but there are enough good restaurants, lots of cafes, and a few good bars. PM me if you have specific questions.
