I've been offered a position for the fall by the Ulsan MOE. I'm doing a bit of research before I tell my recruiter if I am interested in accepting the position or not and thought I'd ask all of you lovely people about Ulsan

Has anyone had experience working/living in Ulsan or with Ulsan MOE?
Would you tell someone heading to Korea for the first time that Ulsan was a nice place to spend a year or to wait and see what other applications pan out for other parts of the country?

Many Thanks!

I enjoy living in Ulsan, but I am married and live a rather quiet life. Ulsan is by far and away the wealthiest city in Korea, so there is a solid middle class, which translates to a lot of money available for education. Busan is very close, a new KTX station, some nice hiking, and many beaches. However, many say that it is polluted, but I have never really noticed this, but I live outside of the industrial zone.

Check out "ulsanonline" which may give you a better feel for the city.

Thanks! I'm still weighing my options, but so far I've heard good things from people who currently live there and mixed opinions from people who have lived there in the past.

I live here and love it, look at ulsanonline.com for lots of info about the city

I've decided to accept the position with the Ulsan MOE! Thanks for your advice. I look forward to meeting some of you lovely Ulsanites(or is it Ulsaners?) in the fall!
