“A gold mountain of knowledge but there's still things to be improved”
Sheng-Kai Y
Taiwan,
Financial Management, 2020
OverallThe professors are excellent in terms of their research work but some of them are not too good at teaching, which inquires the student's desire to explore by themselves.

Course recommendations
For studying Chinese, the ICLP (international chinese language program) was a good choice. It is a bit expensive though and I hear that the Taipei Language Institute is cheaper and offers the same quality of instruction. They claim to offer many courses in English, but this is not really true and their international graduate programs were sub par.

Personal comments
Taipei is an international city with lots of English-speakers. Therefore, finding practice partners can be difficult when your language level is not yet conversational. However, there are many opportunities for language partners and if you can find an earnest local that is an effective way of learning slang and other non-classroom language.

“Una grandisima universidad”
Miquel H
Spain,
Political Science, 2021
Overall
Una de las universidades mejor organizadas que he visto, recomiendo hablar bastante chino. Dentro de la universidad incluso nos podemos encontrar que no hablen inglés. Los cursos y los profesores están muy bien y ofrecen clases de idioma en su versión del mandarín basada en el alfabeto tradicional. Hay que mirar muy bien antes cosas como los clubes porque las inscripciones se cierran antes de que empiece el año escolar.

Chino imprescindible, o amigo chino directamente. Hablar de cosas técnicas requiere un nivel de fluidez muy grande en cualquier idioma, recomiendo ir con un compañero ( es muy fácil hacer amigos la gente es muy amable). Por el resto los pagos acostumbran a preferirlos en efectivo y hay que leer muy bien que traer porque si no no te van a coger los papeles. No hay "quédate esto y ahora vuelvo" es o todo o nada.

Pros
La escuela en si, su gente, el ambiente... Es una pasada. Puedes hacer plan de noche de solo darle una vuelta.
Cons
Los idiomas, mis compañeros que no hablaban chino lo sufrieron un poco.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
Living with a family is always the best way to reinforce language skills when in a new language environment.

Personal comments
The housing at this university is sufficient but living in an international dorm is a major obstacle to learning the local language.

Personal comments
The NTU and Shi Da Universities in Taipei provide an enjoyable environment for foreign nationals. I like the night markets in Taipei and in particular the Shi Da night market. I also enjoy some of the belgian beer bars in the area.
