How I manage school costs.

Seoul adalah antara bandar yang mempunyai high living cost dan memang susah nak survive dekat bandar besar ni so, salah satu cara untuk survive adalah

1) Part time job.

Korea memang negara yang mahal but the good thing is they loooots of part time work for students. Foreigner or for the Korean themselves.

2) Stay in dormitory 

Duduk dekat dormitory can cut some expenses for bill especially. But I'm staying outside of campus though. However, it is depends on you.

3) Asking books from your Korean friends or seniors or your country friends who study in Ewha. Yeah. You can save some money from buying thick, expensive but will be used for only 4 months . Or you can print or find the PDF from internet.

4) Cook if you are staying outside from dormitory.
Food ni salah satu perbelanjaan paling besar. Bukan shopping bukan apa. huhuu ..So bila masak ni memang jimat sikit la. Before fly nnti bawak rempah banyak2 from Malaysia. hehee. Sekali sekala kalau nak jimba boleh laa.

5) Transportation
Tapi disebabkan tinggal area Ewha jugak so kita xperlu naik public transport pergi sekolah. Weekend la kalau nak pergi somewhere.

Ok that's all from me for this week.

have a nice day
