Well, here's sth about CAIS which is a little bad and fairly recent:

On the Galbijim Forums, there was an article posted which listed them as a top school in Korea(other questionable schools were also listed) for "improving and enhancing acquisition of the English language in Korea" or sth like that...it took too long for my acct to register, so I didn't bother to post anything in the end...all that I was going to post was, "Yeah, sure. Rolling Eyes

." Someone mentioned to me that it was probably an article based upon paid-advertising, and I have to agree.

I've never actually worked for them, but have posted replies to related threads at least once. Do a search and you might find what I'm talking about.

WRT SELS, I don't know anything.

Dong-nae is an okay area. Lots of amenities. Close to PNU and the electronics market. Near a couple of mountains and parks and near enough to Seo-myeon. Fairly far from the beaches, but you're on the subway line, so you get to the beaches quick enough.
