Special Lectures Students are invited to meet with locals and expatriates including journalists, diplomats, educators, or businesspeople in order to gain a broader perspective on living and working in Taiwan. Past speakers have included educators, local NGO workers, a local disc jockey, and, one semester, the president of Taiwan. Housing and Meals Housing is included in the program fee. Meals are not included. There are on-campus cafeterias and restaurants as well as a large choice of restaurants right outside the main gate.
Students live in on-campus dormitories with Taiwanese roommates.
Each room houses four and includes a bed, desk, and closet space for each person. Each student has his or her own ethernet port in the room. Computer facilities are also available on campus, but they are often crowded, and many students choose to bring their own computer equipment and small printers. Each floor has communal bathrooms, a TV lounge, and study space. Air conditioning is not available in the dormitories, so students are advised to bring light clothing for the hot months in the late summer and early spring.
