Just to tell you, this school is disrespected in Korea. They had a scandal a couple years ago with fake high school diplomas? Something like that. I think Andy and a few others got their diplomas taken away. Someone needs to verify that. But everyone I've talked to at SIS and ICS think poorly of Kent.

Maybe they've cleared it up.

please do not PM me asking me to close threads, etc! i am no longer a mod! ^^ thanks!

yeah i heard something like that too.

eugene had to drop out of 고려대 (very prestigious college) because of problems with colleges not accepting the high school diplomas from KENT. with all this problem, BoA dropped out of the KENT because SM didn't want her to go through what Eugene went through of being kicked out of a college that she got into.

it doesn't sound like a safe school to go to if you have big dreams (which i bet you have ^^)

these are international schools in korea (up to high school). SFS is probably the better one out of all of them. (all of the schools are pretty small though) and yea KKFS has a bad reputation.

I dont know about anything in Suwon but I know they're building a new foreign school (i think Yongsan Foreign school?) like right next to Itaewon haha.

most people who go to sfs are sponsored my their parents' companies cause i think just the tuition (there are no dorms) costs around US$2000 a month (or i think around $1000-2000). it's expensive as hell.

Yeah, my friend was going to go to SFS because samsung (her dad's new employer) agreed to pay for her and her brother's tuition there. Same thing happened with my mom's friend's kids.

yea not a good school at all, disrespected greatly by those in Korea...

i talked to my cousin and he said it's be much easier if u jus go to a regular school... he grew up and was born in America... he eventually moved to Korea and did perfectly fine... and greatly improved in Korean
