I'm not going to teach there. My neighbor's daughter is trying to early entrance at these schools (or just get in, I think). She asked me what I had heard about them, from a foreigner's prospective. Maybe she just wanted to make for some nice chit-chat, but I would like to have something to tell her the next time I see her.

Does anyone feel one university is better than another? I believe her daughter is going to study international business. Heard anything good or bad about the general educational climate at either of these places? I know very little about school ranking past SNU and Yonsei being at the top.

Cheers

��ȭ is the top women's school in Korea and, if I recall correctly, just out of the top 10 overall.

From a foreigner's prespective, well, I don't think any Korean school cracks the top 100.

Neither.

If she wants to do business, she should go to KAIST.

Well, it's not a business school.

Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

For business any of the top universities such SNU, Yonsei, Korea, Hanyang, or Sogang will do.

She can't get in those.

The way it sounds, Ewha is almost a stretch.

One of my Korean friends said she didn't think Sookmyung was very good. I've heard decent things about Ewha. It sounds like, of the two, she has a better chance at Sookmyung.

Has anyone worked there before?

Well, yes, KAIST might not be a business school but it does have a Techno Management School, which, would you know it, my husband's uncle, Pearl (Jin-Joo) Lee founded.

All the other universities you mentioned are not solely business orientated, either.

He offered me a PhD place 5 years ago to continue my studies, which I turned down.

Incidentally, KAIST is voted the best graduate school in Asia some years back.
