ive personally seen this backfire in a teacher's face. she would go out with this group of korean-american/native koreans, understandably since she was also technically an exchange student and i can see why someone would gravitate towards their own country's people as potential friends. however she would get wasted and cause drama like she was 17 and just had her first wine cooler. it was ridiculous. one time me and a buddy of mine had to carry her up a flight of stairs to her room and flop her in her bed. prime rape-age opportunity, eh jay?
anyways, i'd say the worst part was that some of the other females didn't respect her, and would call her purposely by her first name even though they were first-year students and the teacher made it a point that she wanted people calling her professor or ms. kim or sunsaengnim or whatever.
so yeah, friendliness and open communication is one thing; going out and partying/fraternizing with your students and getting shitty-passed-out-wasted is another. kinda pathetic, really.
