Ok! So here is the deal, two job offers and about 24 hours to decide!
I have been offered a position at SLP Sungbuk, which I've heard is a good school, is in a good location, etc. It does, however, have a major fault. the Apartments. one (very small room) a mini fridge, and no washing machine, they're shared.
On the other hand, I have been offered a position at YBM Junggye ECC, which is a bit further away, but I've read it's in a nice area and the apartment is much better. I've had trouble finding much out about the school so i've contacted two people who are working there and will hopefully hear back from them soon to see what they say about the school.
The Pay, schedule, and age group are almost identical.
YBM does offer a settling allowance and reimbursement for the visa fee, which SLP does not.
AHHHHH decisions, decisions.
Any info/opinion/knowledge would be MUCH appreciated. :-)

That loft style apartment is pretty nice. The truth is that you won't be spending a lot of time in your apartment the first year here. I would focus on what would make you happier. See what the other Foreign teachers say before making a decision - hopefully they will write you back soon. I don't know anything about that YBM, but your job will make it worth it. My friend just got "fired." She stopped showing up to work to get out of her contract because she hated her job so much. She loved Korea, but her job was so horrible she left early. You spend a lot of time at work, you want to make sure it's decent.
