Healthy Campus Life with
CBNU Sports Facilities!
How often do you exercise? Several studies have shown that exercise is helpful for academic performance. So, many universities are making efforts to expand their physical education facilities. There are various sports facilities on the CBNU campus, but a lot of people don't know where they are, nor how to use them. We are going to introduce you to the various sports facilities at CBNU and tell you where and how to use them. Let's look at the sports facilities that are essential for a healthy school life.

Perhaps, the small and large playgrounds may be the most well-known sports facilities, since many school events are held here. You can see a sign saying to avoid using small playgrounds before replacing the tracks since lead on the tracks exceeded more than the standard. The Department of Athletics is continuously replacing it, though it is quite difficult to do. The construction budget is too high, and there isn’t a proper alternative space if construction is in progressed. Due to these reasons, repairing of the small playground is still postponed.
Fitness Center
• Opening Hours: Dormitory: Mon-Fri (17:00-23:00), Law school: Mon-Fri (09:00-21:00)
• Facility Management: Chambitgwan: (063-219-7001), Saebitgwan: (063-219-7006) Law school: (063-270-266)

There are three fitness centers: The two dormitory fitness centers are located in Chambitgwan and Saebitgwan. The dormitory fitness centers are open only to residents of the dormitory, and admission is possible only when you wear indoor sneakers. There is one fitness center at the Law School. The Law School fitness center is open to all members.
It is available at a monthly rate. It cannot be used on weekends and holidays, nor can it be used by outsiders.
We asked 105 CBNU students about sports facilities at CBNU. 35.2% of the respondents said that sports facilities in CBNU aren’t well known to students. Moreover, 34.3% answered that facilities are too deteriorated. Student A said, ‘Shower facilities at the Law School fitness center are too old to use. Also, the playground at the small stadium seems to need repair.’ Likewise, significant numbers of students don’t even know what kind of facilities are on campus, and how to use them. Even if they know about them, they hesitate to use them because they are too deteriorated. These negative situations should be improved immediately so that more CBNU students can use them freely, especially with winter around the corner. Maximizing the chances of using sports facilities in school could lead to much healthier students!
