A simple answer as a sophomore in the business department of the high school university. 1.Study As you know if you know anything about Korean universities, a semester's worth of classes is obtained by applying for classes on your own before the start of the school year. In addition to attending classes and having meals, I spent my days in the library, preparing for publications, projects, reports, PPTs, etc. The university has a 24-hour reading room. There is a 24-hour reading room for students to study. All libraries and reading rooms seem to be open until 11pm. You don't feel like there's no place to study, though! There's a real chance that there won't be a spot during midterms and finals! People are really just that desperate to read!!!! 2. Entertainment Goryeo University is in Anam-dong, open the subway road map can be understood, Anam-ri those Seoul's busy district or shopping and playing places are still some distance (at least 30min~60min). The closest thing to the university is Hyehwa's University Road -> where Sungkyunkwan University is located. If you ask me what there is to do near the school, I'll tell you, there's really nothing to do! There are various halls, but they don't have that kind of commercial atmosphere. If you want to go shopping and watch a movie, you should go to another school or shopping street. 3. Transportation There are subway line 6, Anam Station and Goryeo University Station right outside the school. I'm not going to talk about it. 4. Accommodation I personally do not live in the dormitory and Oneroom so I can not tell you exactly how to come to school for the first semester, it is recommended to live in the dormitory and then you know the situation before choosing to move out or continue to stay. 5. Other The school has two big festivals: IPSELENTI in April and KOYAN Battle in October (a sports event between Koryo University and Yonsei University). (It's fun but hard to explain, hehehe.) In addition to the big school festivals, there are also many clubs, events of single-college universities, etc. You can also find the website of the school. There are also many Korean celebrities who come to KU to give speeches on the school's website. ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -- That's all I can think of at the moment, and I don't know if it will help you or not. At this moment, Koryo University gives me the feeling of both opportunity and pressure. Anyway, as a student of Koryo University still feel proud and grateful.
