visited Hongik Uni with a friend that alumnus here. tbh the university is a bit quiet., i visited around 12pm but not many people in the building. the building still looks like an old building back then, but there’s walking space (like a park) it feels very calming to walk around there. maybe needed some care for some room/meeting point.

A university specializing in art and music. It is right in the heart of the hip and popular hongdae area. Numerous boutiques and bars and restaurants. It is crowded until the wee hours of the morning, especially on the weekend. There is a gargantuan building right in the front of the university. Can't miss it.
