studying in taiwan?


studying in taiwan?
I'm keen to take up a master degree in journalism in National Taiwan University. I've a few questions here: 1) I'm good in Chinese but am only exposed to Simplified Chinese. I can read Traditional Chinese but can't really write (on the other hand, typing wouldn't be a problem because I can recognise the characters). Will the inability to write Traditional Chinese be a problem? Or is there any chance I could actually write my exam scripts in Simplified Chinese? 2) Is it possible to complete the degree in 1-1.5 years? I know that traditionally, master degrees are completed in about 2 years, but I do wish to complete it in a shorter period of time. Will really appreciate any form of suggestions or comments. If you're a current NTU student or an international student in Taiwan, or if you have lots of knowledge regarding this, I'll really appreciate it if you could drop me an email at xdette@hotmail.com for further correspondence. Thanks! gary>> Thanks for your response. Just to answer one of your question, I'm a graduate. Also wondering about point 3 in your answer about learning tc in china - I believe china uses sc, no?

1) i doubt so...sc is not popular or as the content of education for taiwanese educational system..so only using informally will do it, u probably have to learn how to write in tc during summer then take the classes 2) depend on the program, u grad or undergrad? its the same else where though...of course if u prefer to finish master in 1 or 1.5, u can appeal for school' credits system and go for overload and then u should be able to take more classes. The point is you can only jump or go over load to finish quicker though. 3) my best suggestion is you learn tc in china then go to NTU later...

1. The Universities here all expect your written work to be in Traditional Chinese (unless of course your taking one of the special English courses some places offer). Saying as your Chinese is already really good, why don't you just take a little time to learn Traditional - it's not all that difficult and you'll end up with a deeper appreciation for the language, not to mention - you'll actually be able to see the meaning within the characters! I actually have a lot of exp with the Chinese Culture University, they do indeed have a good Mandarin learning centre; however, more importantly - I actually know that if students use simplified characters in an exam or thesis they will get points deducted... haha, the younger generation is so used to typing that they sometimes forget how to write the traditional character for a certain word and just opt to write the simplified version instead.

I have studied in Taiwan You will have to read and write in the traditional characters. You may have to go to a Mandarin training center before you actually enter as a matriculated student. try Chinese Culture University in Taipei Taiwan
3 :
It depends on what’s your major if you would like to write your exam scripts in Simplified Chinese. I am not a NTU student but I could figure it out for you if I know what your major is. Currently I live in Taipei. It would be my pleasure to help you out if any.

Can someone tell me about the lifestyle/education in Taiwan?


Can someone tell me about the lifestyle/education in Taiwan?
I would like to hear opinions from people that have been or lived there. My parents are not Asian but they were both raised in Asia. They want me to consider going to TW..to study at a university.and make a lifestly over there. Now I don't know nothin bout TW except its like next to China. I feel that if I end up goin there, I'll be outta place and unexcepted, especially when my IQ is..um...looooow compare to the student in TW. I've heard that the education there is ridiculously harsh! and people here in America still complain that there's too much work to be done. What do TW have for an adventurous, outgoing, kinda ghetto type of person?

Well my piano teacher is from Taiwan, and she said, when she was a little girl, all the girls had to have short bobs at school, short nails, and no make-up when they were teens. But it could be different now.

"I would like to hear opinions from people that have been or lived there. My parents are not Asian but they were both raised in Asia. They want me to consider going to TW..to study at a university.and make a lifestly over there." That's great to hear. "Now I don't know nothin bout TW except its like next to China." Wow! That's impressive. Most of people do not know where it is :) "I feel that if I end up goin there, I'll be outta place and unexcepted, especially when my IQ is..um...looooow compare to the student in TW. I've heard that the education there is ridiculously harsh!" That is absolutely correct. However! If you are not attending graduate school, the colleges and the universities are relatively easy. You just need a passing grade to graduate. Most of the textbooks are in English (not Chinese). According the newspaper, 99% of the students, who took the joint college examination this year, are eligible to go to colleges or univeristies. I remember couple years ago they have a brain dead student graduated from the university. Either I am really brain dead or what!!! Top reasons going to Taiwan to study: 1. English Friendly Environment 2. High Quality Educational Opportunities 3. Low Tuition Costs 4. Internationalization of Technological Universities 5. Economic Progress 6. A Democratic and Safe Environment 7. Taiwan's Friendly People & Cultural Diversity 8. Geographic Beauty 9.
