Visa screening: the 2025 IEQAS review by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Justice — certified institutes get simplified D-4 screening; restricted ones cannot have new-student visas issued for one year from fall 2026; the rest are screened the standard way.
Tuition: what the university reported to Study in Korea (USD per term, self-reported and not always current) — confirm on the institute's site.
Dorm: the cheapest listed room per month (대학알리미, 2025).
Student counts: Ministry of Justice international-student records as of 2026-06-30; counts under 5 are not shown.
