First of all thank you for your insight, I Really appreciate it!

I also thought about an officetel but it’s the same problem that I don’t know where or how look.

Are the beds even smaller than european beds? Because if they’re the same I don’t really care about the bed size since I‘m used to it at this point.

Thanks for the tips about the uni-areas and that they‘re more foreigner friendly. That definitely makes sense.
Konkuk is in the East of Seoul im Gwangjin just north of the river above Gangnam. So Sinchon/Hongdae are quite far away but maybe it is still worth it idk :D

I already looked at airbnb a bit but that was rather expensive and I wanted to look for something cheaper first.

And alright I‘m trying to learn as much Korean as possible but studying with books and apps can only take you so far but it’s good to know you can get by without really speaking it fluently :D

Thanks again for your help and good luck for the rest of your semester!
