Your next chapter
University life in Taiwan, from applying to living here.
Finishing high school here or moving from another country, university changes a lot at once: where you live, how you get around, who you meet and what things cost. This is the whole picture, with the official source and the date we checked it.
Where are you starting from?
The same university, three very different first years.
- Living at home
Commuting to campus
Same home, a new world. Passes and student fares, long days, and how to be part of campus life when you go home every evening.
- Moving within Taiwan
A new city, maybe a first time away
Dorms and who gets one, renting, a new city and a monthly budget of your own.
- Moving from abroad
A new country
Visa and resident card, a bank account and phone, money, culture, and finding your feet.
