Living accommodations for Korea University
Residence Hall
Korea University’s on-campus accommodation for international students consists of three buildings that are home to over 700 students from overseas. All three buildings have rooms that are fully furnished, as well as kitchen facilities in each building for students to make food. Alternatively, students can purchase meal plans to be used in the central cafeteria that provides three meals a day. All three buildings provide wireless internet, shared bathrooms, common rooms, fitness center, and laundry room. Single, double, and triple rooms are available.
Students attending the summer or January programs will have guaranteed on-campus housing with KU. Those attending a semester or yearlong program may apply for on-campus housing, but it is not guaranteed. If you are not able to secure space in one of the residence halls or are interested in alternative housing options, studios and multi-bedroom apartments can be found within a 10- to 20-minute walk from campus. You are responsible for making these arrangements on your own.
