If you arrive at the main gate of Kyung Hee university in October you will be able to see a beautiful road with gingko trees on the side and if you raise your head and look up you will be able to see the maple leaves.

Kyung Hee university has a lot of gardens on its campus so it takes 1-2 hours to walk across the whole campus. But, looking at these sceneries while walking makes your exhausted body from traveling rejuvenate.

When the maple leaves come out during the Autumn, Ehwa Womans University's campus is filled with the colors of red, yellow, and orange making you think that you are in medieval Europe and not Korea.

Have you ever been to Korea University? It is a university that is apart of the SKY which is regarded as the 3 best universities in Korea. Its buildings are built in a European architecture style and is on a hill. The hill turns a beautiful red every Autumn.

Not only are there a lot of maple leaves and ginkgo trees inside the campus, there are a lot of maple trees on the walls of the campus near the subway station. You don't have to go inside the campus to enjoy the beautiful scenery and if you want you can enjoy it from outside.

The district Korea University is located in is loved by local students and not a lot of tourists visit this location so next time you come to Seoul during the Autumn come visit Korea University and enjoy the maple leaves and ginkgo trees in a peaceful environment.

• Address : 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul
  
• Transportation : Seoul National University Entrance Station of Line 2

Seoul National University is located behind Gwanak mountain making the scenery here in the Autumn to be amazing. The maple leaves and ginkgo trees can be seen from the campus and is visited by many tourists as they come to enjoy the view as well.

Seoul National University is located pretty far away from the Seoul National University Entrance Station so you have to take a bus from there to go up the mountain to arrive at the campus. The scenery you will be able to see when visiting this campus in the Autumn will be unforgettable.

Seoul National University Economics Major

The whole campus of Seoul National University is on top of a mountain and can be viewed as a suburb. But due to it's geographical location, Seoul National University's Autumn scenery is not well known to tourists and only known to locals and the students of the university.

7. Sungkyunkwan University (성균관대학교)

• Address : 25-2, Sungkyunkwan-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
  
• Transportation : Hyehwa Station of Line 4

The Seoul campus of Sungkyunkwan University is located in the Hyehwa University district. I really recommend you come to visit here as there are various Hanok's (Korean Traditional Houses) located here that are surrounded by maple and ginkgo trees making a beautiful scenery to see and it makes you feel as if you are back in ancient Korea.

Even though Sungkyunkwan University is located in the center of Seoul, there are still many traditional buildings located here that you can see without climbing up a mountain as you can see it from the entrance. Isn't it very exciting being able to still see traditional houses in the middle of Seoul?

I recommend that you come to Sungkyunkwan University and take pictures with the beautiful scenery but also go to Naksan park located near the university and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Seoul from there as well.

This was a post of the Top 7 Autumn Korean University Campus Spots of 2019. Going to any of the universities listed above in the Autumn is guaranteed to leave unforgettable memories for you.
