HUFS Housing
NON-DORMITORY Housing Options
Sometimes, unfortunately, it is not possible to place students in our dormitories since there is not enough space. While we do not provide assistance with alternative housing options, we have gathered some information on options to give students an idea of what a) the types of housing options available in Korea are, and b) ones that are near Seoul Campus.
