Guide to studying abroad in Taiwan
～About this website～
The reason we decided to do this graduation project comes from our own experience.
Three years ago, when we decided to study abroad in Taiwan, we searched online for many kinds of information. However, we could not find much real information about universities or daily life, and we sometimes felt worried.
What is the atmosphere of Taiwanese universities like?
What are the classes like?
How much does living cost?
Before coming to Taiwan, we wanted to know these things, but in reality, many answers could only be known after actually living here. That is why we thought that, after studying and living in Taiwan for four years, there is something we can do to help. So we decided to create this website.
On this site, we aim to share real information about classes and daily life based on our own experiences. We hope this website can reduce the worries of people who are interested in studying in Taiwan or students who already live here. And we also hope it can make people think, “I want to go to Taiwan!”

The first time I went abroad was during my high school school trip, and we visited Taiwan. Everything in Taiwan felt new and exciting, the food was delicious, and the warm-hearted people left a strong impression on me. Even after returning to Japan, those memories stayed in my heart. Since then, I couldn’t stop thinking, “I want to go to Taiwan again. I want to live there someday.”
Because of that feeling, I finally decided to study abroad in Taiwan seriously.
There were many difficult things haha, but I still truly believe that choosing to study in Taiwan was the right decision!

It was my first time studying abroad and my first time living in another country, so safety was very important to me. I originally wanted to study English, and in Taiwan I could study both English and Chinese. Also, I felt Taiwan was a safe place to live, which made it even more attractive ✨.
After actually coming to Taiwan, I feel again that it was definitely the right choice!
