2019-2020 Korean Exchange Student - Lim Jimin (智珉)
Jimin is our Exchange Student from Korea, she was writing her life in Taiwan and wants to share it with us.
 

It was an excellent choice to become an exchange student at NTUE. I came from Korea, and have been in Taiwan for one year since September 2019.I never regret my decision to come here.

NTUE provides a buddy program, letting the exchange students adjust to life in Taiwan. My buddy and I went to attractions in Taiwan every week. Transportation is convenient around this area, so you can travel at any time, anywhere.

There is also a student club named ISCES, which is for international cultural exchange. Thanks to the club, I experienced various aspects of Taiwanese culture and had a lot of fun with friends from many different countries.

2019-2020 Korean Exchange Student - Yerin (睿璘)

Yerin is our Exchange Student from Korea, she shared her Taiwan life in living, study, and activities. 
“Why did you decide to become an exchange student?”, this is the most frequently asked question from people after I came to Taiwan. I thought being an exchange student is a very special opportunity for university students to live abroad, so I decided to participate in an exchange program a year ago. Now, I can say that this year is one of the most unforgettable experiences in my life. This is because, through the student exchange program, I made new friends and improved my skills.

To begin with, while living in Taiwan, I made new friends. For example, I got to know other exchange students, language exchange partners, school club members, my buddy, roommates, and classmates. They helped me a lot when I had difficulties because of the language barriers. Furthermore, by hanging out and having a talk with them, I could deepen my understanding of Taiwanese culture and broaden my perspective.

Next, taking classes in NTUE and the Language Center helped me improve my academic skills and Chinese. Even though NTUE is a university of education, it offers a variety of classes, so I could take classes that are related to my field of interest. NTUE also provides exchange students an opportunity to observe elementary school classes in Taiwan, which made me able to compare the Taiwanese education system with the Korean education system. Moreover, my Chinese has improved a lot after taking classes in the Language Center.

The time in Taiwan went by too fast. I would like to thank all the friends, teachers, and staff in the international office for all their help.

2019-2020 America Exchange Student - Anthony Marmaud (馬緣智)

我想要分享我與我學伴的旅遊經驗：

我的學伴帶我到了深坑老街和嶺腳瀑布，在老街我看到了很多販售傳統物品的商店，我一直對於東方傳統的物品很感興 趣，所以我很開心，在那裡也買了一把劍要帶回美國。在去老街後，我們去了瀑布，我和很多其他的外國人都到水裡玩水，並從瀑布上跳下來，但是台灣人都穿著一些很優雅的衣服站在岸上拍照，我覺得我們好像來自不同的世界，在這次的經驗中我也感受到了我們之間文化的不同。

在那之後，我們去了當地的民宿，我覺得那裡的環境很舒服、清幽，步調也比較緩慢，我很喜歡。隔天，我們又回到了瀑布，這次，那邊只有我一個外國人，還有很多的台灣人，當我從瀑布上跳下來時，很多人很訝異，之後有兩個台灣人問我怎麼跳，其中一個人不會游泳，所以我在他跳下來時把救生圈丟給他，當時他舉起雙手，我以為他想要跟我擊掌，結果他把我壓了下去，最後我就跟他一起游回岸邊。

接著，我和剛剛跳下的兩位男生一起鼓勵我的學伴也去跳瀑布，她以前從來沒有跳過瀑布，覺得很尷尬又很緊張，在經過二十分鐘的討論後，她最後終於跳了，跳完後她說覺得非常棒！我很高興我有這樣的經驗，也分享一些Appalachain（Appalachain是我住的山） lifestyle的東西給在台灣我所認識的人。

2019-2020 France Exchange Student - Morgane Duflos

Morgane was our exchange student from 2019 to 2020, has studied for 1 semester in Taiwan, and she was sharing some of her experience and life here. 

I probably spent my best semester studying in Taiwan, it was a rewarding and emotional experience.
I learned Chinese even though I didn't know a word before I had arrived, I matured and learned many things that I wouldn't have learned in France. 
The French don't know Taiwan very well, so I left, as I was curious and very interested in the experience and I have no regrets. I hope I will inspire other people from my school to leave for Taiwan, these 6 months were an honour to develop and learn more about this country and people.
If I have one bad experience it was my return to France on the last day.
