To know university in shinchon, first we went to Yonsei Univ representing Shinchon university, further more Korea. After classes, finding Yonsei's symbol , we visited Central Libray that has huge scale in Korea, and up to date facillities.
Central Library
Owing to final exam, there were considerable students than usual day. As seeing students studying final exam, we were prompted to prepare test. But, because we came here for doing assingment that Kyla gave, soon we went out from there.(?? lol kkkkkk I don't mean not to want to study there )
Back Yang Ro
After visiting Central Library , we walk around Back Yang Ro -main street in Yonsei Univ. There, we could see lots of banner that helps campus life, and finding job information. Also, we could hear music that can hear when we cheer. Having felt from Back Yang Ro was our vibrant campus life
Centennial Hall
Seung hi stretching out his arms, it looks like kid . lol
Student Union Building
Walking around street, as we were hungry, we went to Student Union Buillding where we usually go when we eat a meal. Although we use Student Union Building for a meal, it has lots of facillities for students such as stationary store, bank and so on
Cafeteria
We went to cafeteria in Student Union Building. There, we order some pasta. Then, eating a meal, we talk everyday topics. It's so funny.
Central Library in late afternoon
Ending visiting Yonsei....
Though we were Yonsei students, campus tour was for a long time. So, although becoming very close to campus, it was different experience. As outsider, from their point of view, Yonsei was animated, and vibrant. So, It was Yonsei Univ that we proud of
We went to the Ewha Womans University to experience the life style of the women university in sinchon.
Students' Culture Center
First, we went to the students' culture center where the circle rooms exist. To inquire the culture and style of circle in the university, we went to the room of Association of Circle. There, we met a introductor and asked how the circles are organized and operated. There, we went to autonomous library too. Its motto is that library should be library, not be study room. But the atmosphere of the students' culture center isn't loose. Students were diffident to strangers like us. So we can't stay there long.
Museum
Second, we went to the Ewha womans university museum where relics owned by the university are exhibited. There had two exhibitions when we went to there that one was ceramics from old ages and the other was modern art. When we went the museum, there were not many students. So we thought that the university students are not interested at the exhibition or that they including us are about to have exams soon....lol
ECC (Ewha Campus Center)
Third, we went to ECC which means Ehwa Campus Center. As ECC exists under the ground, beautiful garden exists above the center. When we went there, some students (may be seniors)were taking graduation picture. And we had hard time asking the university student to take the picture below this paragraph
We enter the ECC and went around. It is kinds of a shopping mall like COEX. As walking the university for 2 hours, we were very hungry. So we went to one cafeteria to eat a meal. But as the foods sold at the restaurant are too expensive, we just drink water and went out to find another cheaper restaurant.
In the ECC, a small theater also exists. We wanted to see a movie, so we used purchasing machine to purchase tickets for a movie. But, all the movie screening at that day was all over. So we went out to find another place that is worth to see.
We then went to stationery store and book store in the ECC. I bought a pen at the store and we read a Physics book just for fun.
Central Library
As a last visiting, we went to the central library. We had to print written permissions for entering and using the facilities. As the final term exam is close at hand, we studied at the library, literature reading room. Nonetheless the university is womans university, there are rest room for man!! We can only rest at the rest room because except the rest room, every all around the place is full of women. I (Seong Ui) wanted to lend one book: Norwegian Wood written by Haruki, because all of this books were already lended in my university library. But, this book was also already lended in Ehwa University, also.
Ewha Posco Hall
At the end of the visiting, we find a good restaurant at the Ewha Posco Hall, which is called 'Ewha Love.' At there, we ate the most sold menu, kimbab. As all around us were women, about hundreds of women students, we just ate kimbab with no words.
After Visiting the university
At first, when we just planned to go to the Ewha Womans University, we had some kinds of terrible. we think that all of the students will gaze at us strangely and they will be cautious about us. but after we visited the university, the feeling of terror was gone. What we see and feel is that Ewha Womans University is also just another university, students studying, eating meals, walking, reading book and singing songs. Although it's not that the university have no character of womans university, we can find that most of the pre-understanding about a womans university is just a stereotype. It becomes very good experience for us because we can find lots of culture of the university and ,of cource, we can improve our courage. One thing that is not satisfied is that we can't attend at a lecture, exactly, not granted admission to the Women's study. We planned to attend the lecture, however, we can't.... Nonetheless, as the others courses are wonderful, we don't have any regret.
We went to the Sogang University to experience the life style of the university in sinchon
For visiting Sogang University, and studying final exam, we went to Sogang University that have pleasant studying evironment, and also nice students
Main gate
Main gate for Sogang University - Because it was Saturday afternoon, we cannot spot Sogang University student easily. The campus was tranquil, and peaceful. Last Visiting Ehwa University was so awkward, and embrassing because of Ehwa women corps^^, but this visit was so comfortable for us.
Albatross tower
It is located behind main gate. It is simbol of Sogang University. Albatross that is sea bird having big wings symbolize searching for truth. So, on the tower, "Obey the truth" is carved.
Youth Plaza
It is plaza for students. So, when festival is begun, students make their bar in this place
Samsung Gabbriel Hall
This hall was made for communication department. And alumni from this department donated for this hall
Cafeteria that the students usually go Cheong Seok Gol
This cafeteria's main menu is Ssam bab that is made up vegetable, rice, and meat
In addition, as side dish, 된장찌개, and other food are provided.
Sogang university in evening
Saint Barocio Hall
This hall is made for Catholic. So, cathedral was placed here
And in front of this hall, statue was impressive for us.
Loyola Library
It was shock for us. What a shabby library!! It was just like my highschool. So, this library let me know why people call Sogang University Sogang High School. We appreciate our university library.
Mateo Hall
After traveling campus, we study our final exam OTL kkkkkkk in Mateo hall for business school student.
Generally, Sogang University was neat, clean, and refined. But, it felt like building rather than traditional university felling. So, we felt inconvenienced by the lack of Sogang's unique campus. Yet, Sogang's students have built their own culture in Shinchon by their young power. Because of their power, one of the leading private university Sogang exist!
