HOUSING    
by Ulf, Stockholm School of Economics, Stockholm, Sweden
Financial Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Campus far from city. More interesting and engrossing to live off-campus.
Personal comments:
Campus good way to get to know local students. Boring campus, nothing to do in the local suburbs.

STUDENT LIFE    
by Shane, University of South Carolina, Columbia, United States
Philosophy, University Agreement
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
When I was in Taipei you had to go to TU and the (new) Roxy to hang out but other places, Brown Sugar, are nice too. Because these are basically foreigner ghettos though, don't expect to become friendly with local population (unless you're picking up women).

ACADEMIC

Philosophy, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
If you want to get into grad school in Taiwan, get a letter from your home school saying your chinese is excellent and you don't need to take their (godawful) proficiency test--it's designed to stump you and even the Japanese and Koreans. If you bomb it you'll have to take mandarin courses along with your regular coursework.



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
Being an American at a Taiwanese college is a lonely business--make friends w/locals or go braindead!
