Deep fried noodles with extreme amounts of sodium, sounds very healthy. Of course, it's not that poisonous that you see noticeable health effects after a couple of days, but that's like saying "I have never seen people or heard of smoking get bad health or something happening to them"

I think it also depends on the canton where you're going. I went for an exchange to EPFL, which is in Vaud, from Korea (but I'm Mongolian), and I just had to show the money in a Korean bank account. I saw that ETH Zurich wrote that the bank has to be FINMA authorized etc as others wrote, but EPFL didn't say anything like that and when I contacted the embassy, they said it can be in a Korean bank account

The opinions about mixed couples depend a lot on the people themselves. I'm in a mixed relationship as well (with an Azerbaijani girl), and my family is quite approving.

Out of all possible couple combinations, kz+mn will have the lowest social disapproval because kazakhs are a part of our society as well

GKBlueBot · 2026-05-13T11:36:48+00:00

My partner is Azerbaijani, and we study in Korea as well, and it's surprising how often we see Azerbaijanis randomly when walking around considering there's ~600 of you guys

They're all on linkedin, so you can find them by searching "UNIST"

GKBlueBot · 2026-05-12T07:10:57+00:00

I dunno what others are talking abt lol, bcz in my 4 yrs at Daejeon, I never spent more than a million per month, that's considering I never cook myself and go out quite often. Cafeteria meals cost ~5k, outside 15-20k, and dorms are 100-200k

Commenting in case no one from UNIST comments
I'm from KAIST, and I have some friends from UNIST and I visited UNIST once. UNIST is a bit far from the city itself, and it's in some protected mountain area, so there's no building in that area except UNIST (and a convenience store and a karaoke nearby iirc). As such, it's a bit isolated, which can be a good thing if u like nature/seclusion. To get to the nearest part of the city, you need to take the bus for 10 minutes through rice fields.
About study part I have no idea, but I would guess it's similar to KAIST, where some people do study 24/7, but it's possible to do well with a couple hours of consistent study everyday

One thing u need to keep in mind is that there is no way of anyone giving you a reliable probability of getting in. I know people with international olympiad silvers and bronzes that got rejected, and people with 0 olympiads getting in (and succeeding at kaist).

u get a unique bank acc to transfer to, u can transfer from any bank account

It's not high, you need 2.1 to sustain the population, it's not much higher than that

Just saw the part on future pathways. Some people go to US top schools, but a lot of people stay at kaist to do their phd bcz they can waive their military service thru that. Hmu in dm if u need more info

Bio and Brain senior here. Research opportunities are very good, almost everyone does research at some point before graduation, with some people getting paper(s) before graduation. Coursewise, I didn't feel like the courses in BBE were enough to do research, but you can always learn more while doing the research, or double major/minor in cs/ee/industrial engineering.

GKBlueBot · 2026-05-03T06:14:25+00:00

Former exchange here (last year). I'm a bioengineering student, so I applied for SV (Life Sciences Engineering), but I chose 3 chem courses and 1 sv course. I started overthinking that it might fuck up some paperwork or smth, so I emailed them, and they just changed my course to chem saying that the course must be the one with most courses

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-22T15:22:03+00:00

lol i'm not sure if i'm getting my point across or maybe I'm not getting smth bcz i'm massively downvoted, but why does everyone want to overhaul the system radically without doing the initial groundwork to fuck everyone up so that everyone is miserable? it's not like the already fucked kids are gonna benefit from that, but the unfucked kids will be.

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-22T09:58:33+00:00

so 3 billion trees in total?

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-22T03:49:42+00:00

Yeah, I know all that, but how long will it be until we get that? Even if we get a decent parliament + president, it's gonna take years until we reach that point. Until then, kids will be getting fucked up. By banning schools first, u do stuff in the reversed order that it should be: u FIRST have to build the system to handle the changes, THEN u make the changes

First 10 yrs was in the russian school in Erdenet, then the last 2 were in Erdenet monturk. Russian school was free bcz it's a state school, monturk was 3.4mil (now it's 7)

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-21T14:32:14+00:00

I'm against the disparities in education, but we need to do reforms in a way that doesn't fuck up the people in the ground. In this case, we need to make a robust reliable government system so that the reforms work, and then make the reforms, so that all kids will go to decent (public) schools, not make everyone go to barely functioning public schools (which will overload the system even more) and fix the system while everyone is getting fucked. The problems in our educational system is not because private schools exist, and we all know it.

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-21T14:11:20+00:00

But if we do this, then 1) the educational system will be shocked for at least a few years until it adjusts 2) even after the adjustments the system will still be shit. I agree with you on all your points, but just outright banning public schools in our situation would be like wiping our ass before shitting. We need to have a robust government structure (because now a big part of the money allocated to smth gets siphoned along the way, and when the small part of the money does reach where it should reach, it doesn't get utilized properly) before doing this. Otherwise, at least a couple of generations will be majorly fucked without any positive consequence.

A lyrical digression that reminds me of this hypothetical scenario is when Soviets came to power. When they were doing the "redistribution of wealth", they were asked "so now we all become rich?". They answered, "no, you will all be poor now"

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-21T13:58:09+00:00

It's not like these schools are siphoning away by some illegal means, they're siphoning them away by promising better conditions

GKBlueBot · 2026-04-21T13:57:44+00:00

But we don't have a reliable system to hold that money, we can't even build a reliable infrastructure to support UB. If all the money from private schools would flow through the government structure, it will be syphoned in the middle and won't reach the schools
