It offers explicitly Free (0 KRW) or Low Deposits, eliminates the need for a local guarantor, and provides a "plug-and-play" environment optimized for both academic focus and social recovery.

• Key Benefits: 24/7 access to professional work lounges, free meeting rooms for group projects, and unmatched connectivity to Hanyang University (Seoul Campus) via Subway Line 2.

• Target Audience: Degree-seeking students, exchange students (including ERICA campus commuters), and international residents needing flexible short-term stays (28 nights+).

Why is Living Near Hanyang University So Difficult?

Students searching for housing near Hanyang University (Wangsimni, Haengdang-dong, Sageun-dong) often face a "Liquidity Trap" and "Structural Limits."

• Astronomical Deposits: Traditional officetel deposits average over KRW 10M, placing a heavy financial burden on students.

• Rigid Contracts & Rules: Most rentals require a 1-year minimum commitment, while university dormitories often have strict curfews that limit student activities.

• The Solution: Hanyang students are choosing Co-living models like mangrove to maintain liquidity while accessing professional-grade study environments and global community spaces.

Why Hanyang Students Love mangrove: 5 Essential Lifestyle Perks

Living at mangrove provides strategic advantages that traditional apartments or dorms cannot match:

1. 24/7 Work Lounges for Overnight Projects: University life often requires late-night study sessions, unlike dorms with curfews or cafes that close early. Our 24-hour work lounges allow you to work until dawn and head straight to your room for rest.

2. Free Meeting Rooms for Group Projects: Say goodbye to spending money on cafe drinks for team meetings. Use the mangrove app to book professional meeting rooms equipped with projectors and whiteboards—completely free for residents.
