Seoul National University (SNU) will open rooms at its colleges where students can breast-feed their babies.
SNU said Wednesday it will survey demand at each college and spend up to 3 million won creating the rooms.
The rooms will include breast pumps and a refrigerator.
About 2,000 graduate students and research students are married.
Until now, the school only had one lactation room, inside its health center.
According to SNU, students asked for the facilities.
In a survey by the school's Institute of Social Welfare earlier this year of 281 married undergraduate and graduate students across the country, 27 percent said their school had an area for breast-feeding and 18 percent said their school had lactation rooms.
