Ewha Womans University & Sinchon
이화여자대학교·신촌
Ewha Womans University features the famous sunken ECC building and a historic Gothic stone hall. The nearby Sinchon area is a student district with affordable food and shopping.
Ewha Womans University was founded in 1886 and is Korea's oldest women's university. Inside the campus gate, the ECC building, designed by Dominique Perrault, is a sunken glass structure with a long stepped canyon at its center. Together with the Gothic stone building behind it, it's the campus landmark. Please follow campus rules and do not enter classroom buildings in a way that disturbs classes. Outside the gate, Ewha Street and the neighboring Sinchon and Yonsei University areas have many affordable clothing shops and restaurants. Exit 2 or 3 of Ewha Womans University Station (Subway Line 2) is about a 5-minute walk away. It pairs well with Hongdae.
