[@evafan24]

This was a great comprehensive list! The only thing I wanna mention that probably won't apply to me that you mentioned not to bring is hair products. As a black woman with 4C hair that is coiled & kinky, I know South Korea won't have hair products that take care of my hair. So, I think I'd have to either buy them in bulk beforehand or have a relative/friend send them to me to avoid paying a bunch of shipping fees through Amazon.

[@yyaksok5039]

in my opinion,, you can find many of those "hard to find" foreign items pretty easily as long as you know where to look. i think the exception would be certain brands of tampons-- i dont think i saw many options besides the tiny packs at daiso

is it possible for a foreinger to apply to a university in korea as a full-time student in university for 4 whole years? Like without any exchange programs?

[@findingfiona]

it is, but its going to be harder to get in because youll be competiting with the other Korean students in Korea!. I recommend going for a semester there and if you love it, you can transfer :)

[@jaco-henrisaayman6818]

@@findingfiona could you maybe explain more like how if you know tho

You could through the Korean government scholarship programme - it’s specifically for foreigners so maybe check that out .

it depends on your home university, but i think the main requirement is that you just have to be in uni. some schools might not want you to go in your first year, but maybe second semester would be okay. so theres less of an age requirement and more of an education requirement for the most part
