- Hongik University Oasis: International Student Lounge
In the middle of the busy Hongik Seoul campus, inside the Q building, there's a special place called the International Student Lounge (ISL). It's like a cozy hideout where students from all over the world can relax, chat, and help each other out. Whether you're new to college life or just need a breather between classes, the ISL is here to welcome you with open arms.
Let’s start with 3 reasons why you should visit:
1. Yummy Treats and Coffee for Everyone 🍩🍪🍫☕️🥤🧃
One big reason to stop by the International Student Lounge is the free snacks and coffee. A huge table where you can grab a quick bite or enjoy a warm or ice cup of coffee without spending any money. Why spend extra when you can enjoy delicious snacks and drinks for free at the ISL? It’s great treat between classes when you don’t have time to take long lines in the cafes and restaurantes inside the campus or fight for a table during the busy hours.
2. Meeting New Friends from Around the World (korean students too) 🤹🧛🧑🚀🧝♀️👨🎤🧑🎨
At the ISL, you'll meet students from different countries and backgrounds. It's a cool chance to make friends and learn about other cultures. Whether you're sharing stories about where you're from or getting tips on college life, the ISL is the perfect place to connect with people who are just like you trying to make the best of their time at university.
In my personal experience, hanging out at the International Student Lounge, I met seniors and got great insights and tips about the students life at Hongik that saved me from future problems.
The lounge is also very close to the International Office, so it’s great to get some informations from the staff that hang out at the ISL.
