Now that I'm no longer in Korea, I'll probably be using this blog instead.

27 July 2010

My school has found an apartment for us, but they want me to pay half of the housing deposit, which comes to roughly $8500; this is approximately $8500 more than we have. Good times...anyone wanna buy a car?

[edit 11 August 2010] The apartment was renting before the school could get to it. They're now looking for a new one...

  1. Hey, As someone living in Korea, that is shady. Most schools would never ask that of you. Also, weird that you couldn't get them F-3 visas while in Korea. You should be able to do that. My daughter and I got F-3 visas while we were already in Korea. Granted, she was born here and I was on an E-2 and changed over to an F-3

  2. Thank you for your advice! Mine is a special situation, because I am bringing a family. I was offered a studio apartment at no cost, but because I required a larger apartment, they've ask me to pay the extra cost. I'm also working at a public school and I do not doubt their honesty.

    As far as visas go, I'll have to look again. According to the information I received, they weren't able to change travel to f-3, but It's very possible that I misunderstood. Thanks again!
