I'm studying abroad at NTU in Taipei, Taiwan next semester. Where are fun places to go to drink and hang out?
I was wondering where cool places to go might be in Taipei for a 20 year old college student? Cool bars, clubs, hangouts, restaurants, beaches, etc.

Check out taiwannights.com for better information on the area you are in. Taiwanfun.com also is a good source but is more focused on tea houses and restaurants. Taipei has a reasonable beach area on the NW coast called BaiShaWan beach, it is ok. Most Taiwanese won't go in the water past chest height. The good news is, more and more of the youth here are learning swimming as part of their school program, and more and more younger Taiwanese women are wearing bikinis. This is a good thing for you. It presents good eye candy for me, but my wife may have issues with that. There are a few weird rules about wearing dumb swim caps in swimming pools but at beaches you dont need to worry about that. Kenting has great pubs and beaches. Ilan also has some ok beaches. If you can get out to Penghu the beaches and windsurfing are best there. Taichung has no beaches. :( But lots of restaurants, but the bar scene has basically died here for some reason in the past few years from all I have gathered, but I am married now and basically a non-drinker, so I wouldn't be a good source really for that. Tea houses are ok, but you probably wont be likely to pick anyone up there... however Taiwanese women are generally quite friendly and always are willing to try to practice their English with good looking foreign men... as long as you respect them.

I'm a student here too. CLUBS: Roxy 99 by Shida is where lots of foreign students go to get 2 free beers on Wednesday nights. Wax on Rosevelt Rd and Heping E. Rd also has unlimited drinks for an entrance fee on Wednesday night. Wednesday is Lady's night at Luxy on Zhongxiao E. Rd. Brass Monkey, Room 18, Lava, Spark are some other good places to go. Most clubs don't open Sunday to Tuesday. RESTUARANTS: Din Tai Fung - famous for their pork dumplings, tourists love it. Night Markets have awesome eats. Try Shilin (the biggest). BEACHES: Kenting - But you'll have to take a train. It's more of a vacation trip.
