Hello, everyone! Today, I'd like to introduce you to the convenience facilities around the university in Korea.
If you are someone who want to enjoy a variety of amenities, but you don't know exactly what they are, please pay attention!
Unmanned(automatic systemized) restaurant near universities
Unmanned restaurants and cafes are the representative convenience facilities near universities.

It is also said that the phase of the market will become more active after Covid 19, which is expected to grow by 5.7% annually by 2023.

They say a simplified payment system; customers can use their cards or other payment methods after adult authentication. As the slot opens, consumers can take out the product and after the slot is closed, the payment will be done; will be introduced. In the near future the delivery service will be also replaced as unmanned service. A start-up company asserted that they had success in testing an outdoor self-driving delivery robot. It seems evident that self-service culture and start-up markets are gradually evolving due to Covid 19. Would there be a day to live in a world where self serving robots and delivery drones become a daily routine?
Printing Office
For those who live alone or in dormitories and don't have a printer, there are spaces around the university district where you can just print simply by visiting a PC room, library, community center, or stationery store that has a sign of [print(인쇄)] or [copy(복사)]. Once you download your file in your USB, you can connect it to your computer and print it out. Normally, you can print it with black and white printing in 100 or color printing in 500 won per sheet. Printing is usually free of charge at the commjnity service center. In addition to ordinary printing, you can bind handouts at stationery stores. Of course, the methods may vary depending on each store, so ask the staff in detail!
If you have something to print late at night or find it cumbersome to talk to employees in person, visit the "unmanned printing shop." You can pay with kiosk after you finish printing. Usually, unmanned print shops are open 24 hours a day so it's very useful when you need to print early in the morning or late at night to study.
