Hello, your best bet is the U.S. Embassy’s website at [Student(F/M) - U.S. Embassy Seoul, Korea/url. The basic requirements are the same everywhere, but the procedures differ from country to country (e.g. in how you make an appointment, how you show you paid the SEVIS fee, whether the embassy is using the new DS-160 form or the old DS-156, 157 and 158 set, etc.).

Yeah, I know this is a no-brainer, but checking and double-checking the list of required forms and documents on the website will really expedite your processing. Most of the U.S. consular websites have application checklists (like this one [url=http://seoul.usembassy.gov/f_documents.html]F_documents - U.S. Embassy Seoul, Korea](http://seoul.usembassy.gov/student.html) for Korea) and FAQ pages to answer common questions like "how long before the program start date on my I-20 can I enter the United States in F status?) (30 days).

Good luck!
