It isn’t hard to get to Ewha Woman’s University, it’s just a straight path’s walk after you exit the Ewha Woman’s University Subway Station. Of course people do get distracted their way there because there are many shops along the way on both sides of the road.

Ewha Woman’s University is a private all woman’s university in Seoul, South Korea founded in 1886 by Mary F. Scranton under Emperor Gojong. It is currently the world’s largest female educational institute and is one of the most prestigious universities in South Korea.

Other than for the shopping at Edae, many tourists will make it a point to visit Ewha Woman’s University to take photos and I kind of understand why. It’s for the charming architectural buildings of old and new the school has.

Every visit I have made here has always been packed with people, the students, the tourists, you can never get a clear shot. If you really do want a clear shot or with lesser people, one tip is to try visiting on weekends instead, because there’s supposedly no school on weekends so there will be lesser students around.

You’ll get a different feel at Ewha Woman’s University when visiting during different seasons. I like it in autumn when the leaves of the trees carry the orange and red hues and in spring when you start to see greenery and cherry blossoms are blooming.
