Pro-Tip: I’d encourage every potential study abroad student to study in a country where the most widely spoken language isn’t English. While it’s initially challenging, it broadens one’s perspective and appreciation for international members of the BU community–not to mention serves as an amazing practice for learning a new language.

#1 Recommendation: BU students live on NTNU’s Gongguan campus, which is conveniently five minutes’ walk from a bus station and ten minutes from a night market and MRT station. I’d encourage BU students to take advantage of the location and how convenient Taipei’s public transportation is by exploring all over the city and in other places such as Jiufen and Tamsui.
