Sungkyunkwan University Station (Station P152) is a ground-level metro station on line 1 of the Seoul Subway in Yuljeon Dong, Jangan Gu, Suwon, South Korea. The station's sole exit offers access to Sungkyunkwan University, Dongnam Health College, and the Suwon Immigration Office. Travel time from Sungkyunkwan University Station to Seoul Station on Line 1 is 54 minutes, and travelling to Sungkyunkwan University's other campus, by Hyehwa Station in Seoul, takes 67 minutes, transferring to Line 4 at Geumjeong.

[edit] History

Sungkyunkwan University Station opened on February 1, 1979, under the name of Yuljeon Station (율전역/栗田驛), a name taken from the dong in which it is located. Five years later, on January 1, 1984, it was renamed Seongdae-ap Station (성대앞역/成大앞驛), taking its name as an abbreviated form of the nearby Sungkyunkwan University campus. It was only on December 1, 1994 that it took its current full name of Sungkyunkwan University Station. As of October 15, 2008, Suwon City Council has been operating a 20-day public consultation on changing the name of the station once again. It has three suggestions, being a return to the name Yuljeon Station (율전역/栗田驛), Yuljeon Station (Sungkyunkwan University Station) (율전역(성균관대역)/栗田驛(成均館大驛)) and Sungkyunkwan University Station (Yuljeon Station) (성균관대역(율전역)/成均館大驛(栗田驛)), though it is also possible for the public to suggest alternative names.

[edit] Services

The first train of the day weekdays (not including national holidays) is at 5.18 a.m. northbound and 5.33 a.m. southbound, while the last is at 11.57 p.m. northbound and 12.18 a.m. southbound. Northbound trains have various destinations. Some terminate at Guro, others at Seoul Station, some at Dongmyo, others at Cheongnyangni, while some continue as far as Seongbuk. None, however, continue beyond Seongbuk, so if travel beyond is required, it is necessary to change trains. Some southbound trains terminate at Byeongjeom, while the remainder continue to Cheonan. If you are getting off the subway at this station, you should remember there is only one exit. To save time, if you are traveling north, when you exit the subway, you should be in the last car, and if you are traveling south, you should be in the front car.
