I heard Seoul English Center is in Gapyeong which is just on the border of Gangwon.

I listed it as my first choice, which makes me almost certain that if I get into SMOE I will go there, as I can't really see anybody else picking it. I had my interview so it's too late to change.

My questions are these:

1. If I would make money in Gangwon (2.3M), is it a really big mistake to work for SEC in Gapyeong (for 2.0M)?

2. Is there anything really redeeming about the Seoul English Center as a place to work or Gapyeong as a place to live?

3. Any personal anecdotes about the city/center to share?


*edited to take out some of my panic-mode ranting.

Well the new Chuncheon line will take you into Seoul from Gapyung.

Do you know how long it takes approximately? I've heard that it takes 50m by car, so...

I have that down as my third preference in terms of what type of school. However, EPIK sent me more info on the school just to confirm I'd be okay with being placed there if it happens since it is a more rural area. Let me know if you find any more info about that place please ^^
