Daegu City is recruiting new university students for the first semester to move into the Daegu Happiness Dormitory in Suchang-dong, Jung-gu, from the 13th to the 31st.

The Daegu Happiness Dormitory was opened in March 2023 with an investment of 45.1 billion KRW by Daegu City and the Korea Private School Promotion Foundation to improve housing welfare for local university students and young people. The building has 2 basement floors and 14 above-ground floors.

The dormitory has 503 rooms accommodating up to 1,000 residents, and about 450 new residents will be recruited for the first semester, excluding those wishing to extend their stay. Residents can stay on a 6-month basis and, if desired, can live there for up to 8 years.

Undergraduate and graduate students attending universities in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk area are eligible to apply. After the announcement of the first round of selected residents, young people under the age of 39 will also be selected if vacancies occur.

Residents can use the dormitory cafeteria, where room rent is 264,000 KRW per month and meals cost about 5,000 KRW per meal. Various convenience facilities such as a fitness center, laundry room, and reading room are also available within the dormitory.

Additionally, a 24-hour security system operates using an unmanned parcel system and biometric access control system, ensuring a safe and convenient dormitory life.

On the first floor of the public facility connected to the dormitory, the ‘Hope Closet’ offers free rental of interview suits for job seekers, and the ‘Youth Center’ serves as a communication space for young people. The ‘Regional University Cooperation Center’ located on the second floor provides employment and start-up information and supports exchange activities for youth. It also creates various community spaces, including lecture rooms and a multi-studio for rent, helping residents prepare for life after graduation.

Jung Jae-seok, Director of the University Policy Bureau of Daegu City, said, “The Daegu Happiness Dormitory is significant not only because it alleviates the housing burden for young people but also because it provides a student-friendly space with various programs and employment/start-up cultural facilities.” He added, “We hope the Daegu Happiness Dormitory will become a warm home where local university students can prepare for their future in a safe and comfortable environment.”
