Yonsei University at Wonju is located in the city of Wonju, an hour and a half drive away from Seoul, the capital of Korea. Located in the vicinity of the beautiful Chiak Mountain and numerous beaches on the East Sea coast, Wonju is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Korea. It is also a preferred place for such leisure sports as skiing, rafting, mountain biking, scuba diving, and many more activities. International students will enjoy their free time experiencing the Korean culture and nature in these natural surroundings.

All the activities in the GV Program are conducted in English. International students will come to understand Korean lifestyle and its culture while Korean students learn and experience Western culture.
