Accommodation
Choosing Where to Live
From on-campus to off-campus student housing or privately rented houses and studios, you will find place that suits your life style
On-campus accommodation
On-campus accommodation is convenient to access facilities and social events organized by student clubs at Korea University. Upon acceptance of the on-campus housing offer, students are required to make advance payment of their accommodation fees to secure the room. However Korea University is not able to guarantee all international students on-campus accommodation.
Korea University’s on-campus accommodation for international students consists of three buildings that are home to over 700 students from overseas. All three buildings have rooms that are fully-furnished with kitchen facilities in each building so that students can make simple food or snacks. The condition of the rooms may vary due to the date each building was built as well as its rates and room types. All three buildings provide IT connections (wireless), shared bathrooms, common rooms, fitness center and laundry room. Students are able to purchase meal plans which they could use in the central cafeteria that provides 3 meals a day.
