Pusan National University

Pusan National University (PNU) was established by the national government in 1945 in Busan. PNU now comprises 12 colleges, a general graduate school, and 6 professional graduate schools. It contributes to the development of the nation by producing prominent experts and talented leaders. PNU has many other facilities, including libraries, a museum, broadcasting facility, press center, dozens of research centers and laboratories, and over 80 different college clubs. Inside the university are many symbols of the school, including Rainbow Gate, which was built in an arch style tribute to the 10th anniversary of the school's establishment; Munchangdae, formed with large rocks and located between the College of Pharmacy and the National Culture Research Center; and Mirinae Stream, starting from Geumjeong Mountain and crossing the school. Like Ewha Woman's Univ. and Hongik Univ. in Seoul, in the front of PNU are many reasonably priced eateries, cafes, institutes, fashion outlets, beauty shops, and various other stores well developed to attract students to enjoy cheaply while they are studying. A joke among Busan's younger generation says that Haeundae, Taejongdae, and Busandae (the Korean name for Pusan National University) are the 3 the most famous entertaining areas in Busan.

Although primarily known as a port, the city has many steep hills, creating a very unusual mix of mountains and ocean. The area remained relatively untounched during the Korean War, but the flood of refugees drastically shaped the city.
