What people say about Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST)

Melline Galani ★★★★★ · Google review · 5 years ago

GIST is more like a big parc than a campus. A great place for outdoor activities, too.

Muhammad Ahmad Rathore (Ahmad) ★★★★★ · Google review · 2 years ago

Very good university in terms of facilities, accommodation and research standards. It may take some time for international students to get used to with the language difference as most of the staff and local people speak only korean. Better learn the language to survive. I recommend this university.
