Living in Taipei
Taipei City is the capital city of Taiwan. When local people talk about Living in Taipei, it indicates living in both Taipei City and New Taipei City.
TRANSPORTATION
The fast and clean Metro Taipei (subway or skytrain) started its operation in 1996 to carry passengers in Taipei City and New Taipei City. As Metro Taipei is well connected with U-bike, Taipei Bus, Taoyuan Metro, Taiwan Railways, and Taiwan High-Speed Rail, it is really cost-effective and efficient for inhabitants in Taipei to travel within or outside Taiwan.
In addition to using public transportation systems, some of our GMBA students take the advantage of scooters. They drive around the neighborhoods and use them to connect with the public transits. Following are some of the famous scooter brands in Taiwan for you to consider: KYMCO、PGO、SYM、AEON、CPI、Hartford、SUZUKI、Yamaha、Vespa、Gogoro.
ACCOMMODATION
NTU offers several on-campus housing options for students. International students may consider staying in on-campus accommodation. Housing applications are administered by the NTU Office of International Affairs (OIA) through an online survey, where applicants may indicate their top three dormitory preferences. On-campus accommodation results are typically announced between late July and August for the Fall semester, and between December and January for the Spring semester. On-campus housing is available only for the duration of your studies at NTU. Family members and friends are not eligible to stay in student dormitories. All on-campus housing is gender-segregated, and roommates are assigned randomly. For more information, please visit: https://isss.ntu.edu.tw/campus-life/accommodation/
If you want to live outside the campus, we suggest you search along with Taipei Metro. You can decide where to live, however considering time efficiency, Greenline, Orangeline, or Brownline stations near G07(Gongguan) where NTU is located is highly recommended. Other location suggestions are G08(Taipower Building), G09/O05(Guting), G06(Wanlong), G05(Jingmei), O4(Dingxi), O3(Yongan Market), BR08(Technology Building).
