EWHA WOMAN UNIVERSITY SHOPPING STREET

When shopping in Seoul on a tight budget, do as the students do—because they tend to be the experts on shopping for trendy and affordable goods. A thriving shopping area popular with the youngsters is located just outside one of Seoul’s prettiest campuses, the Ewha’s Women’s University. Many shops here sell clothes at prices starting from KRW 5000. The quality of the clothes and bags here are pretty good, and many of them are made locally. This area is a paradise for students looking to restock their wardrobe for a new semester of school. When you want to take a break from the shopping madness, street stalls are selling a wide variety of Korean snacks and delicacies such as fried popcorn chicken and egg bread. You can also take a stroll on the beautiful campus grounds, situated at the end of the shopping street.
