In the morning, the sight of students with backpacks walking along these paths, chatting while enjoying the fresh air, has become a familiar scene. In the afternoon, after hours of hard-study, many groups of friends choose to stroll around the lake, seeking tranquility under shaded trees or stopping by small cafés to chat. All of this creates a vibrant picture of campus life, where knowledge is intertwined with nature.

Comprehensive benefits for students
Walking on campus brings many practical benefits for students’ physical and mental health. Just a few minutes of daily walking on these green paths is enough to help the body exercise, enhance blood circulation, and reduce stress after long study hours. Particularly for students who must regularly sit for many hours in lecture halls or study rooms, walking is a simple yet effective way to maintain fitness and concentration.
Not stopping at the health aspect, the walkways also serve as community bonding spaces. Leisurely steps with friends become opportunities to share stories about studies and life or exchange ideas for research projects. Many student groups report that during campus strolls, creative ideas were born, opening the door to academic competitions or entrepreneurial activities. Thus, the walkways are not only places for exercise but also environments that nurture the spirit of cooperation, creativity, and personal development.
Particularly, modern amenities such as the GS25 store operating 24/7, The SHE Tea & Coffee shop, or the student cafeteria located near the walkways make walking even more interesting. Students can move while stopping to rest, recharge, or study in groups with friends in the airy space. This combination of natural landscape and modern amenities has created a complete learning experience, helping students feel the university’s deep care for their spiritual life
