Living Accommodations for Yonsei University

Residence Hall (limited availability)

Located on campus, the Yonsei International House and SK Global House accommodate up to 845 international students. Nearby classrooms and easy access to shops, restaurants and public transportation create an ideal environment for both the academic and cultural experience. There are two lounges on each floor with a computer room, laundry room, and a lecture hall. Rooms are single or double occupancy and are reserved directly with Yonsei University on a first-come, first-served basis upon acceptance. The residence halls are extremely competitive and fill quickly. While there is no established meal plan, there are on-campus cafeterias, restaurants, shared refrigerators in the dormitory, and nearby bakeries and food stores offer a wide selection of choices.

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.
