It was a great environment for students to study here.
Do not choose Kyunghee University
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars
Just beautiful landscape of the university campus was good. Korea is an expensive country but professors in this university doesn't give the money for stipend as the university has determined. I found that they are stealing money from students' budget.
Not what I expected, as an international student
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The hardest part of studying at this university was the number of classes international students could take. Most of the classes were taught in Korean or the same classes were taught every semester, so it was hard to take classes in my major.
