Earlier homeschooling was an option used by students who couldn't attend regular schools due to medical emergencies or other students who were child artists. But these days many parents prefer to educate their children at home as it gives them personal attention, saves time, and also prevents them from any sort of bullying or toxic experience that a child may be vulnerable to in school.

As the child grows up a tutor must be hired. Now every family has a different educational philosophy and that is what impacts the learning of a child the most. Some parents believe in an immediate solution to their child's questions whereas some simply leave it to them to find out the answers. It is very important for parents to plan a curriculum for their kids which decides the amount of syllabus they must cover in that particular amount of time. The good thing is you can cover more than what schools would normally cover and the bad thing is if you get lethargic, you will be left too much behind.

Not everyone gets a place in a hostel. A study in Korea notes dormitory fees can cost approximately about 420 US dollars to US$1,550 per semester while rent outside of campus could cost approximately US$300 per month. If you are renting an apartment, you have to give a security deposit as well. There are different types of accommodation options in South Korea like normal apartments where you get a kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom of your own. Then there are officials that have an office and apartment combined. You can also get a villa or a house. The security deposit is generally 10 or 12 times the rent.
