Korea, Incheon/Seoul what is the minimum cost u can get a one room type studio for?

Question

Is it possible to get a studio, one room type near a university in Incheon that would be around $100, $150, $200 type per month?

I have heard of $300 to $500 types per month, btu are there cheaper options available cheaply?

Answer 1

There are rooms which are teensy tiny with shared facilities (including bathrooms) from $150... These rooms are called 'goshiwon' (고시원)
I lived in one which was 230 a month, and that included everything, I had a TV, fridge, bed and desk... but it seriously was tiny.
Now im living in a top floor studio type thing for $333 a month... but if you get rooms like this, expect to pay a bond of around $5,000. The goshiwon or office tel are better options, and often furnished.

No it is not possible to get a room in Incheon for 100/200 dollars , specially around universities where prices are high .. but if you are a university student you may apply for student dorm , you gonna share it with another student ( probably korean ) and yeah prices are around 150-200 .if u need more info email me , I live in seoul and I can help you out ..
