Pusan Dae Ha Kyo

This is the name sign of the university - Pusan National University (Pusan Dae Ha Kyo) - written in Chinese characters. Nowhere have I observed a sign with the university's name written in Korean other than street signs. One of the PNU students said this is the influence of the Chinese culture on the Korean. (I also observed this at the museum yesterday in the caligraphy exhibit. Most of the art was done in modern or classical Chinese rather than Korean, which I found surprising.)
