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 Tiêu 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.

My former coworker is studying at this university, so I visited here twice. My first visit was last year around early November. At that time, the famous ginkgo trees were not all yellow, so I came back this time. Unfortunately, I came on a …

I think the scenery would be beautiful in all four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. I like it because no matter how I take a picture, it comes out really pretty. The pictures from fall are really pretty. It's a beautiful place in …

Sweety Candy Lollipop

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.

RICHARD PARK

As seen in the article "Taepyeongseongdae" in Monthly Chosun, Sungkyunkwan University no longer seems to be at the level it once was. I've even heard a professor from another university who came to Canada as an exchange professor express …

Joongwon Lee

Every Year, College Entrance Exam at SKKU is quite competitive. This year (2019), when prospect students took Essay Examination for year 2020, the average competition rate was 72:1. On Saturday (2019.11.16) Liberal Arts Division took the …

I paid $150 to attend one of their programs, but I informed them I couldn't attend due to health issues, and they said they could refund my money. I filled out a refund form and sent it back. Instead of $150, they deposited $66 into my …

Joona Lempiäinen

The 'new' campus is located on a hill behind the centuries old school buildings. A couple of cafeterias and coffee shops, a bank, post office, hair dresser, travel agency among other services can be found on the campus grounds.

Eyedaq Optical Shop Myeong-dong

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.

???

This prestigious university, with a long and storied history, enjoys a high level of pride among its students and alumni. It's a great school with excellent food and a palace nearby.

Shanna Capraruolo

I studied there for a semester. I was really disappointed with the school overall organisation and interactions with exchange students. But at least there is a pretty temple inside.

RinRin _Korea

It is definitely the best university in South Korea for us Korean fans and it is a very nice university that we can go to. I want to study child psychology at this university? …

???

I went there to cover the essay exam, and both the university staff and students were bright and friendly. In my next life, I'll definitely enroll at Sungkyunkwan University. ^^

Sungkyunkwan University has recently been leading the development of university education in Korea.
With the support of the Samsung Foundation, SKKU has evolved into a global …

Yuvraj Kakade

It is the oldest university in South Korea. They have preserved the 700 years old ancient campus building here. It also have the oldest known tree here in campus. …

snipermask

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.

tray

Well, I don't want to study there. I WILL STUDY THERE. She seems really nice and I really hope I have the honor of studying there. Besides, I'm a native of Brazil.

???

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.

??

The facilities are great, the students are friendly, and the clubs are great!! This school has a high student quality and a high Samsung employment rate!!!

cj kim

This is a sculpture I encountered at an intersection near Geumsan Industrial High School while on business in Geumsan County, South Chungcheong Province.

Tung Pham

Nice campus with rich history. It also attracts a lot of visitors. Recommend not to walk in shortcut you may get lost or end up having to hike up hills.

???

It was a time when I heard many good words in various ways ^^ I think that the future of the country is bright only when experts work passionately ? …

??

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.

Kim Jk

It's my favorite university and I wish I could attend it, but I don't think I can because I'm from Algeria ?? and that's very difficult ? …

Anne Chen (??)

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.

???

An old university is located at the top of a hill.
If the hill is too hard for you, you can take a bus for just a few dozen yen. …

Cloud Ywing

The path leading up to the back gate of Hanyangdoseong-gil is truly beautiful and splendid, lined with cherry blossoms in spring.

???

Sungkyunkwan University is a great university. It's a 20-minute walk from Hyehwa Station, and a shuttle bus runs from there.

Hye Ok Lee

A place where the ginkgo trees create a spectacular view in the fall! It's not a large school, but it's a wonderful school.

You Jin Oh

When visiting this university, we recommend using public transportation. Take bus number 02 from Jonggak Station, Exit 3-1.

Heej C

Sungkyunkwan University is one of the good universities in Seoul, South Korea. Especially, it is famous for its humanities.

???

This is a photo of the back of Myeongnyundang, located next to Sungkyunkwan University, and featured on the 1,000-won bill.

???

It has a strong sense of modernity, quite different from the Korean dramas I watch on TV, and is definitely worth a visit.

BRIANNA “??” Sopi

The campus is not large and is located on a hill. There are things to see nearby, such as the palace and Myeongnyundang.

????

Is it right to count the age by combining it with Sungkyunkwan history? Anyway, the school grounds are really pretty.
