Daegu City and Daegu University (Lunch Presentation Meeting Series #061)

For the 61st presentation, we had Park Jino to talk to us about Daegu city, and Daegu University.
It is noteworthy to know that Daegu University started off as a private missionary school.
Now, it has 12 faculties, housing almost 30,000 students. The university has a huge campus, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk from end to end.
Recently, the university introduced about 20 'Bike Stations' dispersed throughout the university whereby students can freely use. The student dorms are huge, and are surrounded by pretty gardens. The university has about 180 MOUs with universities abroad.
Presently, 600 international students from 20 countries are studying at the university. The university also has a Buddy System whereby a local student is paired with an international student. The University Festival is held twice a year, in May and in October. Apparently, students stay up all night to party, and alcohol consumption is not restricted in campus. Today, we had 8 Japanese students and 7 international students in the audience.
