Our first activity in Seoul started with a campus visit to Yonsei University. YU is a private research university in Seoul, South Korea. It is one of Korea's three SKY universities, a group of universities widely regarded as the most prestigious in the country. Yonsei was established in 1885 and is one of the oldest universities in South Korea.
As we arrived there, we were welcome with good lunch with some of the engineering students apart from got to explore to local Korean food (bulgogi and octopus, saba fish). Next, there was a sharing insights from the students about the engineering course and campus life and also a campus tour which covered: Gwanghyewon, Jejungwon (heritage/historical building in University, rebuild/replica of original buildings), the statue of Underwood (Horace Grant underwood), the underwood Hall (administrative office), Samsung library (y-Valley (startup discussion), makerspace (realized idea through 3D printers or scanners) and many more!
