It is actively used by all students living in the vicinity of the university, because it has a selection of excellent up to date books covering all disciplines. The library is open late, but it's users in the later hours are not Uiduk students, but other students from other universities or person's preparing to study abroad or families where the parents are encouraging their children to do some extra work for themselves.
The university has only recently opened up special courses for foreign students to learn Korean, and then enroll in the regular courses. The existing foreign student programme has students from China, Vietnam and the Philippines. Many of these students are attracted to Korea, because of it's standing in the electronics and the semiconductor industry. They come to learn Korean, and then join another technical department as a full time student.
