Excursions & Cultural Experiences
Hanyang offers a multitude of included activities throughout the summer program. Excursions include a trip to the largest amusement park in Korea (Everland), a Nanta show, a tour to the Demilitarized Zone, and a trip to a water park.
Housing & Meals
Be the first to stay in Hanyang University’s brand-new on-campus residence hall. Relax in a double room with a private bathroom. Enjoy access to common areas, laundry facilities, and study spaces. Stay active with a gym conveniently located on the ground floor. Plan to bring your own bed linens, pillows, and cutlery for personal use—but no need for pots and pans, as cooking is not allowed in the dorms.
Explore Seoul
Seoul is one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, where cutting-edge technology, nature, and history exist side by side. Hanyang University's main campus is located in eastern part of the city. Students can enjoy on-campus features such as a scenic walking trail around the university grounds and performances at the campus amphitheater, or take advantage of the on-campus subway station to easily access everything the city has to offer, including shopping, parks, museums, historical landmarks, and art installations.
