In Korea, although most universities have dormitories, there are few rooms, which cannot meet the housing needs of students. According to the data of the Korean Ministry of Education and the Korean University Education Committee, the demand satisfaction rate of four-year ordinary university dormitories in Korea in 20 17 years is only 2 1%. This means that only 2 out of every 10 students can live in the school dormitory.

It is reported that recently, hundreds of Korean university students took to the streets with candles and shouted "We Korean college students want to live in dormitories!" The slogan asked the school to build more dormitories for them. It is reported that the dormitory of this school can only accommodate 2,700 students, accounting for only 10% of the total number of students in this school.

Kim Tae-jiu, president of Korea University, said that if you rent a single room with 3-5 ping (about 10- 16 square meters), you must first pay10-20 million won (about 58,000-17,000).

According to students, the living expenses of renting a house outside are 2-3 times that of living in a dormitory at school. Many college students can't bear to ask their parents for money, so they have to work to subsidize their living expenses and become "house slaves" prematurely. A student at Korea University said that it takes three jobs a month to earn 65,438+0,000 won. There are also students looking for relatively cheap housing far away from school, but they have to travel for more than 2 hours every day in order to "study".

It is reported that Korea University has repeatedly postponed the construction of new dormitories because of the opposition of surrounding residents. According to relevant sources of the North District Government of Seoul, is the area where the school plans to build new dormitories a city park? The construction of dormitory was opposed by local residents.

There are also landlords around the school who claim that building dormitories is an infringement of their right to subsistence. One owner said that there are some empty houses now, and house prices are also falling. If you continue to build new dormitories, you will find it difficult to live in. There are also conflicts between students and surrounding residents in many schools in Seoul. The president of Hanyang University believes that if the new dormitory will affect the income of the surrounding landlords, the surrounding residents strongly oppose it. Hanyang University students even had a rally against the surrounding residents.

It is reported that the conflict between students and residents around the new dormitory is spreading all over Korea. Although the Korean government has recently introduced a solution to provide accommodation for young people, students hope to have a fundamental solution.
