$ How much? $
Hasuk (boarding house)
'Hasuk' (하숙) Is the korean word for 'boarding house'
all hasuks range from $450 to $550.
Most students on a tight budget believe that this is the best possible option for students.
there is no deposit required, and these boarding houses are often less than 10 minutes away from the university of your choice.
The best part is that breakfast is made for you by a lady! (free)
