Dear Residents,

Hello, I am Ji-hye Kim, Director of Ewha Womans University Dormitory and Professor in the Department of Ceramic Arts, College of Art & Design.

Warmest welcome to all of you who have become new members of our dormitory community.

Ewha Dormitory has a long history as Korea’s first women’s dormitory, starting with Main Hall on the Jeongdong Campus in 1900 and Fry Hall in 1923. 

After relocating to the Sinchon Campus, it continued to serve as a dormitory under the name Jinseonmi Hall in 1936 and later as the former dormitory building in 1959.

Currently, our dormitories include Hanwoori House (1999) and Ottogi International House (2016) for enrolled students, I-House (2006, 2012) for international students, and E-House (2016) for freshmen and graduate students, accommodating a total of approximately 4,200 Ewha students.

Our dormitory is a vibrant community, home to Korean students as well as international undergraduates and graduate students, exchange students, professors, and researchers from around the world.

Here, diverse languages, cultures, and values intersect, allowing us to broaden our horizons and practice mutual respect and understanding in daily life. Through your experiences here, I hope you grow into leaders who embody the Ewha spirit, with a sense of responsibility and community-mindedness.

In addition, our dormitory is supported by dedicated staff members committed to your safety and comfort, as well as the “Maeum E Center,” which provides psychological and emotional support. Together with these individuals, I will do my utmost to ensure that each of you can live every day here in safety and joy.

I pray that God will guide your every step and watch over all your time spent here.

Thank you.
