Program Overview
Kyung Hee University (KHU) aims to promote the role of intellectuals and
academics in world affairs through focusing on creativity, progress and
cooperation. The university has initiated several international movements,
including the Global Cooperation Society Movement. This movement
strives to protect human rights, build a society of freedom and equality,
and ultimately, attain world peace. KHU also strives to bridge cultural and
social gaps by promoting mutual understanding and prosperity. As a result,
the university encourages frequent exchanges with sister schools overseas
to facilitate the exchange of ideas. These activities spread a
shared belief in the value of learning.

Housing
Abroad!
Most UNCW students will be housed in one of several KHU dormitories.
These recently renovated structures are typically equipped with beds,
desks, cabinets, air conditioner, internet connection and phone for the
comfort of students. Generally a room is shared with other international
or local students.
Student Life
With modern premises and first-class facilities, KHU’s campuses offer
students access to a variety of amenities, including restaurants, museums,
libraries, a post office and student health center. At both campuses,
students can pursue their curricular and extra-curricular interests through
a variety of clubs and organizations. One club that offers a particular appeal
to international students is the KHU International Friendship Society (KIFS).
This club promotes positive exchanges between international and Korean
students. Club activities include meetings, field trips and sports activities.
Surrounding Areas
A center for arts and culture, the capital city of Seoul blends old and new
with modern high-rises and trendy shops mixed in with ancient temples,
markets and palaces. Namsan Tower, in the center of Seoul, provides a
360 degree view of the entire city. Nearby, beaches, Buddhist Temples,
museums and parks offer exciting day trip activities for eager explorers.
Easily reached by subway, train or bus, Suwon lies just twenty miles south
of the capital city. A popular, historic tourist destination, Suwon is home
to the Hwaseong Fortress (the last remaining wall to surround a Korean
city) and close to the Korean Folk Village of Singal and the Everland theme
park of Yogin.
