KyungHee University 경희대: Seoul Campus

The main campus of Kyung Hee University is simply magnificent.. Although it is situated in Seoul close to the Hoegi station it does not feel like you're in Korea's largest city at all.. Instead, the whole place looks like it is taken straight out of the Harry Potter universe with its mystical buildings and statues surrounded by the forest.

I remember a year ago when me and my friend was looking at pictures of KyungHee online. Back then I didn't know that my own campus would be situated so far outside of Seoul, and seeing the beautiful campus in real life made me feel a bit jealous of the students who get to study there instead of at my campus in Gwangneun. Although we are allowed to take classes at the main campus too, it is quite inconvenient since KyungHee's GIP campus is located about 1 1/2 hours outside of Seoul. On the bright side, we have a lot of fresh air and many trees surrounding our campus..

Anyway, although I've already studied for a semester in Korea already it was my first time to actually visit KyungHee's main campus. I went there for the first time this weekend with my friend Anna, who studies Korean there and was more than happy to show me around. It was really beautiful, even now in winter with half-melted and muddy snow covering the school grounds.

Nice buildings, nice library, nice location, nice everything.. 너무 부러워요〜.. ㅎㅎ
