※ 給有意思要到首爾大學唸語學堂的朋友，錄取通知有許多重要信息，因此一定要看仔細。





之前在背包客棧爬文時，發現許多人在選擇語言學校時，都會優先考慮梨花女子大學，
再來才是延世、西江、慶熙....等等，首爾大學語學堂在背包客棧討論區中反而有點乏人問津的感覺，
這點讓我蠻訝異的，不說別的，光是知名度這點，都覺得首爾大應該是首選才對呀？！
anyway，一開始還有點擔心是不是都沒有人要申請首爾大，
但是稍微看了一下錄取通知的e-mail名單，發現居然還有近60人，
以現在南北韓的緊張情勢來看，這樣子的人數也算是不少了。


接下來，要申請宿舍，辦簽證，開啟台灣帳戶的網路銀行功能....等等，
關於這些東西，有興趣的朋友可以參考這篇 - 〝韓國遊學之台灣事務處理篇〞、〝如何寄送包裹到韓國〞，
這個網站有非常多實用的資訊。辦理簽證相關問題請看 - 〝Korean Mission Taipei〞。



我的人生要進入一個全然不同的新階段了，重新開始，為時不晚，加油！！
