In the first half of the year, the city organized campus tours to Seoul National University (for elementary school students) and Sungkyunkwan University, with a total of 160 students participating. The students who took part said that experiencing the university environment firsthand helped them in making career decisions.

In particular, the program received a positive response as students gained practical information about university life and study methods through campus tours and conversations with current student mentors.

Accordingly, the program will be expanded in the second half of the year to include major universities such as Seoul National University (for middle school students), Yonsei University, and Korea University. The tours will be held sequentially starting from the third Saturday of October.

This campus tour goes beyond simple visits and includes mentoring by current students. Participating students will tour lecture halls and major facilities, take part in introductions to academic departments and hands-on activities, and interact directly with current students to indirectly experience university life and study methods.

The city expects this program to provide students with opportunities to design specific career paths and motivate them in their studies.

Jung Yoojin, head of the Future Education Division, said, "Since Yangju City was designated as a special education development zone, we have promoted various educational initiatives, such as establishing a career and college admissions platform, operating regional care centers in the eastern and western districts, and strengthening digital education. Including this 'Future-Oriented University Campus Tour,' we plan to continuously expand customized educational programs that provide practical help to students and parents."

Applications for the university campus tour can be made through the Yangju City Career and College Admissions Platform (website), and for more details, please contact the Future Education Division of Yangju City.
