Bus stops and routes change often, so we do not list them. Open the campus in a map app and tap "Transit" for current bus and metro routes.
Distances are straight-line from the campus coordinates to the station coordinates, so the walk is longer in practice. Sources: Ministry of Education campus coordinates, Korea Rail Network Authority station data (2026-06-30).

As a rule of thumb, applications for March intake usually open around September–November of the year before, and for September intake around March–May. The readiness check shows the deadlines you are working against.
