Undergraduate and graduate students attending universities in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions, as well as youth aged 39 or younger, are eligible to apply. The application period is until the 22nd of this month, and applications can be submitted through the Happy Dormitory website.


Residents can use convenient facilities such as an affordable dormitory cafeteria, fitness center, laundry room, multi-studio, classrooms, auditorium, cafe, convenience store, and reading room. In particular, the dormitory is managed with a biometric access control system to ensure the safety of residents.


Additionally, the building received energy efficiency ratings and green building certification due to the use of eco-friendly finishing materials, and it is certified as a barrier-free living environment facility, considering the living conditions of residents with disabilities.


On the first floor of the dormitory building, there is a ‘Hope Closet’ that lends interview suits free of charge to job seekers and a ‘Youth Center,’ a space for youth communication. On the second floor, the ‘Regional University Cooperation Center’ is located to support youth employment, entrepreneurship, and exchange.



Song Ki-chan, Director of Youth and Women’s Education Bureau of Daegu City, said, “Daegu Happy Dormitory is the first in the nation to combine dormitory facilities with public facilities, allowing access to various education, employment, entrepreneurship, and cultural facilities,” adding, “We hope the Happy Dormitory will grow into a hub of youth culture that attracts young people and revitalizes the downtown area.”
