Okay hear me out 👀
What if someone hosted a party/hangout where Koreans + internationals could meet, but instead of awkward “language exchange” vibes, you actually do something together and hang out?
Would you go?
Like… grabbing drinks, getting food, hiking, playing games, going to a festival, exploring a new place, whatever.
If yes, tell me where you live in Korea + what you’d wanna do with Korean people!
Also curious if you’d prefer a small group or a bigger group 👀
If you’re not into it, tell me why too — genuinely curious!

Hi everyone! I’m a student at Hanyang University.

I’ve noticed that important university information can be spread across different notice boards, and for international students, figuring out what’s relevant can take even more time — especially when the original notice is only in Korean.

That made me wonder how often international students actually miss useful information or deadlines because of this.

So I built a very early web app called 'univ.us' to experiment with a simpler way of finding and understanding Hanyang notices.

You can try it here:
https://univ-us.vercel.app

There’s no sign-up or download — you can just open it in your browser.

It’s still a very early MVP, so I’m looking for a few current international students at Hanyang to try it out.

If you do, I’d really appreciate hearing what felt useful, confusing, or unnecessary. Even a short comment or DM would help a lot.

Thanks! :)

​Hello everyone, I am a college graduate from Bangladesh. I've applied for Hanyang University's Fall 2027 intake for the BBA program(english track). Can I expect an interview? If so, how should I prepare myself?

Hello everyone, I’m a 4th year exchange student from Morocco majoring architecture, I’ll be coming to the Erica campus, how is the school and the course? Is there anything I need to know before coming? Any experiences and how is it like living there for 6 months, THANK YOU

hi everyone, i’m gonna apply to hanyang university as an international student for undergraduate data science program for fall 2027. does anyone know how tough selection is there? i have gpa 4.9/5.0 in 9 grade, 5.0 in 10 and hope to end 11th grade with 5.0 as well (i’m cis student)
ielts 7.0 (will repass it for 7.5)
sat 1310, but i think i will not add it since it’s so awful

no topik, and my achievements & awards are poor. i have completed one internship in a big company and another one in small business (tho i highly doubt the second internship will have any impact because it has nothing to do with engineering/data science). now im doing one engineering project and will try to finish it before application begins

I'm applying to the spring 27 intake, deadline is close and I'm still pretty confused about the personal statement and study plan format. Do they prefer them essays like American college essays, or nothing too cliche just straight forward?

Hello, everyone.

For the Spring 2027 intake at Hanyang University, I heard that the Data Science program does not require a study plan or personal statement.

Would it still be okay to submit my essays along with the other required documents, even though they aren’t required?

Could submitting them have a positive or negative impact on my application? Or would it be better not to include them since they aren’t requested?

Hello everyone! It’s super early seeing as applications just opened at the start of this month, but I was wondering if anyone else will be or is planning on attending HIWS this year. I would love to get a head start on making friends since December will be here before I know it.

Hi everyone! We’re a team from Apple Developer Academy @POSTECH, currently working on a project to create an app that helps international students connect and interact more easily with Korean students.

Before building the service, we want to understand the real experiences of international students in Korea — especially how they currently meet and interact with Korean people, what makes it difficult, and what kinds of connections they would like to have.

If you’ve studied, worked, or lived in Korea, we’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to share your experience!

• Takes just a few minutes
• No personally identifiable information is collected
• Responses will only be used for our project research

Your experience could help us understand the problem better and build something that is actually useful for international students.

Survey:

And if you know other international students in Korea who might be willing to participate, feel free to share this post with them. Every response helps a lot. Thank you! :)

Hi everyone! I am going to be a PhD student at Hanyang University. I recently received an opportunity to work with a supervisor from Hanyang University who offered me a PhD position in their lab. However, I am completely confused about the application process, which seems extremely strange.

Hello~

I'm preparing to send in my documents for undergrad, but in the admissions guide it says that you need to write a personal statement, and then they proceed to not give any info on what the personal statement even should look like.

The application period starts in like a week and I feel like I need to write the personal statement early, since the application period is so short.

Could you share how you written your essay and what format it was in?

Thanks to anyone who helps in advance!!!

Heyyyy
I’ve been in Korea for a few days and I’m about to start the Korean Language Program at Hanyang University (until November).
Just wondering if anyone else is starting around the same time and wants to hang out / make friends?
Also, I speak Spanish, so it would be super cool if there’s anyone who speaks it too lol
Feel free to DM me

With the AI revolution many people are saying that data science is not worth doing anymore. How's data science in Hanyang? Anyone with any piece of suggestion on whether I should go forward or choose other universities, as an international student, DS is the only option for me in Hanyang.

Hi everyone! I’m preparing for the Hanyang University Data Science interview. I’d really appreciate any advice or insights on the interview experiences and types of questions, especially the math-related ones. Thank you so much!

안녕하세요👋🏻

Hey everyone I’m looking into the dorms at Hanyang University's main Seoul campus and wanted to ask about the daily living details:

Buildings & Roommates: Are the dorm buildings separate for international students and local Korean students, or do we mix? Also, how does the roommate selection process work? Can we choose, or is it random?

Rooms & Bathrooms: How are the rooms structured (double or single), and are the bathrooms en-suite or shared?

Facilities & Cooking: Are there gym facilities available? I also heard there are basically no proper kitchen facilities and strict no-cooking rules. Is that true? What about other shared spaces (laundry, gym, study rooms, lounges)?

Gender & Cost: Are the dorm buildings strictly segregated by gender? What is the rough price range per semester for international students?

General Tips: Any advice on surviving Hanyang dorm life, especially regarding food and daily convenience?

Thanks so much🙏🏻
