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).
