Okay, so I have a certain goal in mind and I was hoping to get some help in getting it accomplished.

Now that I've been in Korea for 6 months and got my bearings, I've switched my focus into committing my time into learning Korean and getting into Graduate school.

My first problem is location. I want to enroll into a Korean language program and right now I'm logistically in a bad place to be doing any of that, especially with my work schedule. So I was wondering, what is a great Korean language program to enroll into? I was also hoping to place myself possibly around the Sinchon or Gangnam area as there seems to be plenty of part time/full-time work available from what I've seen in the job posting sites I've looked at.

Also, if anyone has an alternative method of learning Korean such as language partners or community groups that has been successful for them, please mention it!

Hopefully someone has dealt with a similar situation or has the experience to help me with my decision making. A sincere thank you to anyone who can help!

TL;DR I want to study Korean, where's the best place to go for this?

Well... if your goal is to learn Korea and go to grad school, why not apply for a scholarship which pays you to learn Korean prior to starting grad school? www.niied.go.kr

Anybody have an update on what happened to the site linked above?
The main one works, but the studyinkorea.ko.kr one seems to be long dead.
