What should a female student know before coming to Korea?

Culture

안녕하세요? I am a girl from Russia, and I entered a master's program at a technical Korean university in Pohang. Is there anything I should know before going there?

I'm learning Korean about a year now, I've watched a few Korean dramas, and I watch a couple of YouTube channels about Korea. But I would like to hear some specific advice from real people.

Is there anything about the culture, attitudes towards women, student life, or anything else that is worth knowing and taking into account before going to study in Korea?
