Ewha University

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.
