Bored of the Cafeteria? Here’s What Hanyang Business Students Are Actually Eating!

By: Stefanie Kosim

Let’s be honest—university life is chaotic. Between back-to-back lectures, group projects, club meetings, and trying to survive midterms (and, let’s not forget, finding time to breathe), eating well often gets pushed to the bottom of our to-do list. And while the school cafeteria is convenient… it gets old real fast.

So if you’re a Hanyang University Business student tired of eating the same thing over and over, here are some uncommon food recommendations—both on-campus for busy days, andoff-campus spots to treat yourself after class. Let’s see together!!

#Part 1: What to eat during busy class days??

When your day is packed tighter than your lecture notes, grabbing something quick and actually good can be a lifesaver. Here are two clutch spots to keep you fueled without breaking the bank—or your schedule.

1. Hanyang Bakery – HIT Building (1st Floor)

Whether you need a quick breakfast or something to snack on between classes, Hanyang Bakery is a hidden gem. The pastries are shockingly good and always fresh. Try the garlic baguette or the sausage bread—they’re warm, filling, and comforting. Plus, there are sandwiches and drinks too.
Price Range: 3,500 ~ 7,000 wonPro tip: Get there before lunch rush or your favorite bread might be gone. The students do not play

2. Hot Dog & Coffee – Hanyang Cyber University Building (1st Floor)

This combo might sound simple, but trust me, it hits the spot. Their Korean-style hot dogs (think cheese pull) paired with a basic Americano or sweet latte make for the perfect low-effort lunch. Quick, warm, and satisfying.
Price Range: 2,500 ~ 4,000 won

Honestly? It’s the MVP meal when you only have 10 minutes to spare between classes.
