Picture yourself at Hanyang University in Seoul.
Hanyang University is a private research university that was first founded as an engineering school in 1939. It was also the first school in Korea to offer studies in architecture and civil engineering and is currently viewed as one of the leading universities in STEM fields in the country. Students are currently able to study at Hanyang's main campus in Seoul which offers studies in 15 colleges and in a total of 60 departments.

Hanyang University is located in the eastern part of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. The city is easily accessible by bus or subway, with the closest station being only 5 minutes away by walk. The surrounding neighborhood offers many cafes, restaurants, and other attractions like the the shopping complex at Wangsimni, which is only a short walk from campus.
Program participants are required to be present for the entire length of the program, from the official arrival date through the program end date.
Currently, the school does not provide on-campus dormitory housing options. However, the school provides useful information about arranging accommodation through their newsletter and creates a Facebook group for each term to provide reviewed housing.
