Câu hỏi phụ huynh thường hỏi
Is my child safe in Korea?+
Yes. Seoul is consistently ranked among the world's safest large cities, with a Numbeo Crime Index of about 25 out of 100. Korea's homicide rate is roughly 0.5 per 100,000, lower than the UK, Canada, Australia, and the US. Public transit runs late, neighborhoods are well lit, and most large universities have 24/7 dorm security and international student offices.
Does my child need to speak Korean?+
Not to begin. Every top university now runs degree programs taught fully in English, especially in business, engineering, computer science, and international studies. Korean-taught programs typically require TOPIK Level 3 to 4. GKS scholarship recipients receive a full year of free Korean language training before they start their degree.
What does it actually cost?+
Public universities like Seoul National University run about USD 3,500 to 8,500 a year. Top private universities like Yonsei and Korea University run about USD 6,000 to 12,500 a year. GKS covers full tuition plus a monthly stipend of about USD 650. Living in Seoul is roughly USD 800 to 1,300 a month all in.
What if they don't get in anywhere?+
Our match scoring is designed so students apply to a balanced mix of reach, match, and safety programs. Most students who follow our recommended list receive multiple offers.
Can they stay and work after graduation?+
Yes. The D-10 job-seeker visa lets graduates stay and look for work for up to 3 years (extended from 2 years in October 2025). The F-2-7 points-based long-term resident visa grants employer-independent work rights and is a standard step toward F-5 permanent residency.
Who builds and verifies these recommendations?+
Real humans, led by the founder, who studied in Korea on a full scholarship and lived this journey end to end. Every scholarship entry is hand-verified, with the date stamped on every card.
Can I speak to a real person?+
Yes. Book a 15-minute call with the founder. Parents are welcome to attend with or without the student.
