Real reviews from students.

Jesung Koo

The back gate is accessible by bus from Jongno 02, while the main gate is accessible by bus from Hyehwa Station Exit 1. The fare is 300 won. If your goal is to visit Sungkyunkwan, the main gate is recommended. If you're primarily exploring Naksan Park or the Samcheong-dong area, the back gate is a better choice.

Visiting my alma mater from the early 1960s brought back new memories. While I was disappointed by how much the environment had changed, I applaud the school's progress in modernizing itself. This building, with its jig, seems to be where my lecture halls were located during my graduate school years.

Hoa Duy (Hoa TiΓͺu Mu?i)

The school is not as grand as some other Korean universities, but it has a strong traditional character. The most beautiful time is probably in the fall when the school changes its green color to yellow thanks to the ginkgo tree. The school's symbol is also the ginkgo leaf?

HUANG JUDY

Located near Hyehwa Station on Seoul Subway Line 4, Sungkyunkwan University boasts a magnificent, century-old ginkgo tree in front of its Myeongnyeondang Hall – truly spectacular! I highly recommend visiting in early November to admire and photograph it.

Damon Lee

The modest entrance to the university is surrounded by historic assets, including the fortress walls, Myeongnyundang, and Bicheondang. This is a place where you can experience both the nostalgic atmosphere and the vibrant energy of university students.

The atmosphere was beautiful. When I arrived, it seemed like they were having some kind of ceremony, so I couldn't take many pictures. Even though it was a Monday morning, the inside of the university was quiet and there weren't many people.

There are many culturally valuable things to preserve.
The ginkgo trees, in particular, are truly beautiful and a sight to behold.
I hope we can continue to nurture them well and pass on a better culture to future generations.

Allison tapia garcia

What can I say? I appreciate the knowledge, since my youngest daughter is a student there, and she's ranked number one in Asia. I hope my daughter gets her diploma in three years and is prepared for this new stage. Blessings.

Jade Estavillo

It's the university in SoKor that i really wanted to visit because it's the one in historical kdramas. And going there gives the vibe of being in the past. SKKU is a combination of traditional and modern.

I went to the 600th Anniversary Memorial Hall to see the Jeoncheon Musical. Parking was convenient, and the kids had a great time. Parking is 3,000 won for four hours if you're watching the musical.

???

I just came out of the student union bathroom and was charged 2,000 won for parking! Most universities let you park for free for a certain amount of time, but this place is a total waste of money!

???

The campus is small and not particularly impressive, but the surrounding area is attractive with the Seoul Munmyo Shrine, Myeongnyundang, Changdeokgung Stone Wall, and walking trails.

???

A place where 600 years of history breathes! I watched the Lee Cheol-jin dance performance at the 600th Anniversary Memorial Hall. The venue was large and the chairs were comfortable.

If you come out of the subway station, you have to walk a bit, and if you take the bus, you can get off right in front of the alley, so I recommend taking the bus.

A university where Confucianism, passed down since the Joseon Dynasty, lives and breathes. A 500-year-old ginkgo tree evokes the spirit of Confucius's learning.

I went to charge my electric car, and I was glad they didn't kick me out. Strangely, there are a lot of places in Jung-gu that tell you to leave.

I don't know much about Korean history, but I've heard of Sungkyunkwan and thought it had the same status as Yuelu Academy, so I came to see it.

A very beautiful and textured university. I went to see the 400-year-old ginkgo tree. It's a pity that it hasn't turned yellow yet.
