Top tier school in Taiwan
One of the best schools in Taiwan for international students with a variety of English programs and courses. Available different scholarship programs. Friendly and helpful staff, good campus facilities. The quality of education depends on the courses and professors, some are excellent, and some should not even exist.
Love my time at NCCU
Studying at National Chengchi University (NCCU) in Taiwan has been an enriching and transformative experience for me as an international student from Malaysia. NCCU offers a culturally diverse and academically stimulating environment that has broadened my horizons in many ways. One of the standout aspects of NCCU is its faculty. The professors are not only experts in their fields but also genuinely passionate about teaching and guiding students. The rigorous curriculum challenges students to think critically and fosters a strong work ethic. Furthermore, the campus is beautiful and well-equipped, providing an excellent atmosphere for learning. The international student community at NCCU is vibrant, and I've had the opportunity to make friends from all over the world, enhancing my global perspective. My favorite thing about attending NCCU is the cultural immersion. Taiwan is a fantastic place to experience East Asian culture, and NCCU's location in Taipei makes it easy to explore the city's rich heritage and modern amenities. However, one area for improvement could be better integration of international students into campus life, as sometimes it can feel a bit segregated. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my choice to study at NCCU. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of academic quality and cultural exposure. My advice to future students would be to embrace every opportunity for learning and cultural exchange, as NCCU provides a platform for personal and intellectual growth that is truly exceptional.
Teachers and classmates are very helpful
The teachers and students here are very interesting and willing to help others! Here you can explore your own ambitions, and the school has a lot of resources to help you! The location is also very good, you can reach the city center by bus!
