When I see the list of
Universities for exchange options that given to me, I decided to go to
Sungkyunkwan University immediately. I knew it is a really famous University in
South Korea. Sungkyunkwan in the history of South Korea was the foremost
education institution in Korea during the late Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties. So Sungkyunkwan
University that has 617 years long history is the oldest University in South
Korea and it’s the top private research university in that country.
Sungkyunkwan University has two campus, one is the
Humanities and Social Sciences Campus that location is really good, in the
center of Seoul and in a University area,
the other one is the Natural Sciences Campus in Suwon, a city located near
Seoul, that need about one hour to go to Seoul campus by
metro and there is free school bus running on fixed schedule that takes around
45 minutes. Both campuses have student dormitory and it is not recommended to
living outside the campus. First, it is much more expensive living outside. And
it’s not easy to get any good offer. Before applying for dormitory, the dorm
manager may say that there is possible that not all the people get to live in
the dorm, but don’t worry they will arrange all the students well.
