My life and studying experience in Taiwan

It is reasonable to say that there are advantages and disadvantages in studying in a foreign country. In my opinion I believe that the advantages overcome the disadvantages.

When it was confirmed that I would be studying in Taiwan for the next two years, I thought that I would have one of my greatest experiences in my life. Because I knew that the university (Yuan Ze University) I had chosen is one of the best in Taiwan for studying my master degree in industrial engineering
Yuan Ze University has all the necessary conditions to assimilate and acquire the best of the teachings from the YZU’s academic staff which possesses valuable expertise.

The whole Yuan Ze University’s community, namely administrative and support staffs, academic staff and alumni: undergraduate and postgraduate students are integrated like a huge and glad family within the university’s culture.

In keeping with the times of fast technologies advancements and a globalize world the classrooms are endowed with all the essential and pertinent electronic technology devices that enhance the qualities’ education of a serious and committed institution like Yuan Ze University.
An internet access at each university’s facility is available, including of course the library which contains a vast of up to date amount of educational material and supporting information. Even the dorms are provided with wireless internet network.

Consequently, students are provided with the most appropriate educational and facilities environments in order for the students to ease and digest their learning experiences.
In addition, there are some other important facilities for students to do exercises and practice their favorite sports.

Needless to say, I have found Taiwanese people very sociable and gracious. I have made many Taiwanese friends. In some ways I consider it is easy to get acquaintance with Taiwanese people and its language and culture.

I never imagined that living in this beautiful and hospitable country would be so remarkable.
Needles to say I realize now that I have made the best decision in undertaking my postgraduate studies in this country. The courses I am attending along this semester have been providing with a wide perspective to search for many potential and interesting research insight so that I can be able to choose the best research topics relevant to work experience and to my origin country.

I feel quite pleasant being a YZU’s student. I am happy for having the chance to achieve one of my personal and educational goals: to get a master degree in industrial engineering. Making acquaintances in this country with Taiwanese people and its valuable culture is becoming in a nice and rewarding experience.

I am grateful for giving me this remarkable chance.
