"Get out of your comfort zone. Not only does study

"Get out of your comfort zone. Not only does studying abroad strengthen your character and appreciation for other’s cultures, but employers see international experience as a key discriminator over other applicants. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And the bonus is the network you build during your time abroad —not only the life-long friendships but the work opportunities through professors and classmates." ⁠⠀

“While abroad, I got the chance to travel to Hong Kong with some friends that I met in Taiwan. We had just finished a busy day when I took this photo of my friends as they posed for pictures at the top of this gorgeous lookout.” - Owen F., Mechanical Engineering ⁠

✈️ Top 5 Reasons to Study Abroad in Taiwan ✈

⁠⠀
Why study abroad in Taiwan? Dexter Lee from @ucberkeley describes it as the 'hidden gem of Asia' and shares his top five reasons to go on a life-changing adventure in the tropical paradise. @ucbstudyabroad⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🌱 NATURE LOVER’S PARADISE ⁠⠀
Taiwan is a beautiful tropical island. Amazing nature and scenery are never too far around the corner.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
👥 CULTURAL EXCHANGE ⁠⠀
One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was participating in the International Learning Companion program that pairs international NTU students with a small group of elementary school students in a rural area of Taiwan. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🍲 DELICIOUS FOOD ⁠⠀
The heart and soul of Taiwanese culture lies in the food and drink. One of the great aspects of Taiwanese food is the diversity. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🚝 EASE OF TRANSPORTATION ⁠⠀
Taiwan has one of the most modern and reliable public transportation systems that I have ever come across. In the city of Taipei alone, the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system can take you anywhere in Taipei, usually for less than a single US dollar. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🗣 TAIWAN WILL PUSH YOUR LIMITS ⁠⠀
Taiwanese culture and society are vastly different than anything you can experience in the United States. ⁠⠀
