The University of Suwon (Hangeul: 수원대학교) is a university in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
The university was founded by the Kowoon Foundation in 1977 and authorized in 1981 with nine departments. The sister university [1] was founded in the same year. The first matriculation of 250 students took place in 1982.
Since the university's first sisterhood relationship agreement with an overseas university was set up in 1985 with Chicago State University, U.S.A., agreements have been arranged with almost 100 universities in 23 countries.
The University of Suwon comprises 10 undergraduate schools. The first graduate school was opened in 1986 and USW now has eleven graduate schools.
The Main Library is divided into the study area and the research area. The study areas on the 1st and 2nd floors are open to everybody, while the research area can be accessed only through B.D.S. on the 3rd floor. Students, graduate students, and professors can engage in research work in the reference rooms on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors. Since 1993 collections in the library have been added to the database and access to the database through the internet is available inside and outside the university. Since 1997 the library has operated the “electronic library” which enables the use of CD-ROM, microfilms, A/V materials, the satellite broadcasting system and on-line service.
The dormitory consists of three units with five floors and one basement. It is 12,572㎡ (3,800 pyeong) in size and can accommodate 900 students. It started housing students from September 2000. Dormitory rooms are not arranged in the corridor style that is usual in Korean universities. Instead, they are fashioned in the block style that most of the distinguished foreign universities adopt in order to create a family-like environment to share the community spirit and at the same time, keep the independence of each room. The dormitory, which stands on a sunny hill on the campus, helps to alleviate the inconvenience of students having to commute. It also adds to the academic atmosphere of the university and contributes to the social well being of students from distant places.
USW Health Service Center is a student welfare organization that provides students with health care services to keep the campus healthy. Services provided include health care, medical treatment, environmental hygiene, and health education.
