Vyacheslav Pak
Hello, my name is Vyacheslav and I want to share about our experience of entering universities in South Korea. Before leaving school, many parents have a question about where their children will study ... there were several reasons for making the decision to study in Korea:
- As ethnic Koreans, we were glad that our children chose to study in their historical homeland.
- The ranking of universities is quite high in many developed countries.
- After graduation, we are sure that they can stay and work in South Korea if they wish. Finding the right university, as well as a list of necessary documents for admission in an unfamiliar country on your own, takes a lot of time and a bunch of incomprehensible questions that you don’t know the answer to. And friends recommended us to talk to Dmitry in Way To Korea. The Way To Korea team helped us choose a university, collect a list of required documents, submit them for consideration to the university and receive an invitation. The response from the university was received fairly soon. We entered two different universities, the requirements of each university were different and it was not easy to collect the necessary documents, but the employees of Way To Korea helped us in every possible way in all matters.
- When asked about the shortcomings of the work of your team and how to become better, my opinion is this. You sincerely showed that every student is very important to you and your work is result-oriented. I am very glad that we got to know you and we tell our friends about you sharing our experience only in excellent form.

Especially, I would note as a huge plus, the approach that is carefully sought for each client. In my case, this caused great surprise, because. I didn't expect it to turn out so well.
I also want to note how employees are put before their work and their clients. We, I will say this, had quite a few unforeseen inconsistencies and problems that arose along the way, and what really inspires respect is that the guys did not just try to find some way out, but the best one that could be squeezed out of this situations. Also, the friendliness and quick responses of the staff are worthy of special thanks!

I chose Way to Korea, because at one moment I accidentally noticed the link exactly at that moment in my life when I planned to enter Korea. So he immediately applied.
I structured all the information on admission, helped me get to language courses in Samyuk in the shortest possible time (delays had already passed and, in fact, in a normal situation, I managed to submit documents and enroll, but thanks to direct contracts, the manager quickly got a response from the university) and, most importantly, they picked up university with hostel
I had all the documents on hand around June 29th. I received the invoice on July 1st.

I contacted several agencies, but I liked the feedback more from Way To Korea
Detailed instructions on preparing documents, obtaining a visa, even a memo that includes such trifles as issuing a SIM card!
If I'm not mistaken, the response from the university was received within a week. At the end of August I turned to you, on September 1 I already paid for my studies, although the course starts already in December.
Liked everything! The information was given clearly, there weren’t even any questions during the process, and if there were, they answered very promptly and as detailed as possible.

Unfortunately, I did not immediately find Way to Korea and signed an expensive contract with an unscrupulous company, which subsequently tore it up and left me with nothing.
But one day, after I decided that I could handle it myself, I stumbled upon the Way to Korea Instagram account and studied everything for a very long time, as I was afraid to step on the same rake! But the information on the site and a personal call with Dmitry dispelled all my doubts and I immediately decided to trust WTK!
List of documents, selection and quick response from the university and much more. The WTK team was always in touch and helped with all my stupid requests! 14.08 - 21.09 The response from the university was received in a little more than a month! Despite the fact that I sent the documents only on September 13, and after that the invoice from the university was received in a week!
Often quick and open help. They even helped me figure out the location of the hostel, the university, showed everything on the map.

Do you help with university scholarships?
The scholarship is not a budget place. This is how universities are willing to encourage talented students to study with them.
To get a scholarship, you will first have to prove that you are a strong student and pass a difficult competition:
• only the university knows exactly how the selection process goes
• conditions change frequently
• big competition
• there is no guarantee
• we can't make your portfolio for you
Therefore, Way To Korea does not offer scholarship accompaniment as a separate service.
We consider all issues related to scholarships individually with those who have already decided to enter Korea with our help.

The system selects options based on the input data about the candidate.

4 years - Bachelor's program, 2 years - Master's program.

Average tuition per year $7,000
When does the semester start?
The spring semester begins in March, the autumn semester - in September.
Where can you work then?
Universities in South Korea are in the top of the world rankings, so they are listed everywhere. When you get an education, you can find a job in Korea, Russia or any other country.

Do you help with university scholarships?
The scholarship is not a budget place. This is how universities are willing to encourage talented students to study with them.
To get a scholarship, you will first have to prove that you are a strong student and pass a difficult competition:
• only the university knows exactly how the selection process goes
• conditions change frequently
• big competition
• there is no guarantee
• we can't make your portfolio for you
Therefore, Way To Korea does not offer scholarship accompaniment as a separate service.
We consider all issues related to scholarships individually with those who have already decided to enter Korea with our help.
