Yonsei University
Profile
Yonsei University is one three best universities in South Korea. It is well known throughout Korea and it is difficult to be admitted to study there. Yonsei University is very Christian and views itself not only as a school that facilitates knowledge but also teaches managers to understand their social responsibility. The campus grounds contain everything you could want: a mountain, two swimming ppols, multiple sports facilities, no parks, beautiful avenues, and much more.
There is a well structured and organized exchange student program. Students are taken care of and have different possibilities to meet international and Korean students in tandems, mentors, and different student clubs.
Due to high demand only three business courses can be taken per semester.
Yonsei University is located in Sinchon, at the heart of Seoul. Sinchon is a student district with many bars and affordable restaurants.
