Located in one of the hottest neighborhoods of Seoul, Ewha Womans University is the most famous female-founded research center in the capital. While studying for my bachelor’s degree, stumbling upon this gorgeous campus and iconic glass building felt like a sign: I just had to do my exchange there!

During the fall and winter semester of 2022, I finally had the incredible opportunity to study at Ewha, and I could not recommend it enough! Starting from the gorgeous campus and green gardens surrounding the buildings, going through the number of amenities and meal options the campus offers, and to top it all off the stunning architecture and view of Seoul, Ewha has it all!

Even before lessons started, I experienced the first steps of my life aborad by entering the dorm in the International House; I stayed in the building B in a shared room and it was one of the best experiences I had so far: the dorm was super clean, simple, and in a great position. The facilities and shared spaces can really enhance the dorm life, making it feel more like a community. Also, being extremely close to Sinchon and the main entrance made my stay super convenient for exploring the area and accessing campus. I really love taking daily walks and the access to Sinchon Station from the back of the dorm was a huge plus— Sinchon is such a vibrant area with so much to explore!
