Ajou University - New International Dorm (part 1)

Well, since I write this in 2016, the official name of our dorm is "New International Dorm'. Maybe when you read this in 2020 or more, they won't put the "new" phase anymore. Actually before I came here, not that much people post something about this building, so, I hope that this writing will benefit the future Ajou International student.

Anyway, our dorm has 9 floors in total. First floor is office, living room, gym, toilet, praying room, and laundry room. Second until fifth floor are male's; while sixth until eight are female's. The 9th floor belongs to the professor and their relatives/colleague. Each floor has a kitchen or a study room. On female dorm's case, 6th and 8th floor have their own kitchen; while 7th floor only has a study room. So, if they want to cook something, they need to either go up or go down.

Before entering the building, you need to tap your Ajou ID Card into the main gate.

If you walk straight from this gate, you will find a room that has locker (the green square), a vending machine, a photocopy machine, and mailboxes which has a room number pledge on each box.

If you have a delivery package, you can pick it up here too.

Next, if you turn left from the gate, you can find a laundry room and gym. I've never been inside the gym, so I don't have any picture of it. Mianhae :(

The divide the laundry room into male and female area. If you want to use a washer or dryer, you need to put 1000 won bill. No coins accepted. Oh, and we can also find an iron table with the iron, of course, in this room.

Then, I'm going to show you the dorm floor.

It's very clean, compared to my campus dorm in Indonesia. One thing that I really love in Korea is the fact that you don't need to bring the room key everywhere. You only need to remember your password and voila! welcome to the house.

This is my room before my roommate come. I spent a lonely night for 3 or 4 days before finally she moved in. The office will give you a sheet, blanket, and a square korean pillow. But as you can see, the sheet has no color, only plain white with Ajou symbol in the middle, and the most horrible thing is: the brick pillow. You can buy a new pillow in Homeplus for 7.000-15.000 won. If you think it's expensive, go to Daiso, they sell a 5.000 won pillow.

I love this table. So many shelves and drawers.

We also have cupboard(?) (I dunno what's the right word) coat rack, shoe rack, trashbin, broom, and a fire extinguisher.

Luckily, I have a super kind, probably the most friendly roommate in the world kekeke. We don't have selfie together so just let me publish our room's door hahahah.

Nice, right?
