Today was the start of Yonsei's two day festival. During the festival, school clubs set up various booths to fund raise money. The booths can be anything from games, rides, showing their clubs talent, food booths, dance clubs, and even alcohol. Yes that's right, you heard it. In Korea it's A-OK to drink on campus, especially during the festival. This alcohol fundraiser is called 주점 and is very popular in Korea. Here you can see students selling drinks and professional bartenders mixing drinks. During the festival students, teachers, and even non-Yonsei students flock to Yonsei to enjoy the school festivities. During the festival, professors don't assign homework, and if you have a cool/nice professor they will even cancel class! This festival is simply AMAZING it's no surprise why Yonsei is one of the top 3 schools in all of Korea.
