Classes & academics at SKKU
In their own words — what students said about classes and academic life at SKKU:
“The campus is all the way up north of the city and you will have to go several times a week so the location of where you live matters substantially. It is very big compared to french campuses and has anything you need. Registration was easy to set up, HOWEVER, it is a first-come first-serve system and you are very very likely to not have all the classes you wanted so have as many backup classes as you can.”
“Take the shuttle bus from hyehwa exit 1 if you live off campus to avoid the mountain climb ;) campus is super pretty!! 10/10”
