The purpose of this study was to explore non-capital region college students'
expectation on their post-college housing and source of housing costs. Between May
28 and June 17, 2012, a questionnaire survey was conducted to students at the
Chungbuk National University and 120 responses from students from non-capital
regions expecting their post-college housing in Seoul Metropolitan area were analyzed.
Major findings are as follows: (1) Majority of the respondents expected to rent a
housing unit and those with relatively greater parent income tended to show a greater
expectation on home purchase or Jeon-se rent; (2) more than one fourth of the
respondents expected to reside in studio or Officetel; (3) to afford post-college
housing cost, nearly 70 percent of the respondents expected financial support from
their parents and family, and females tended to have a greater expectation on their
family's financial support; (4) in selecting post-college housing, public transportation
and proximity to work were found to be the most important considerations; and (5)
concerns on housing cost could also affect job selection.
