Seems so in UK from story, in USA schools charge Taiwanese a lot more. Not like Germany or Italy where it is almost free
yes, i met someone who studied in the USA now a waitress in a coffee shop in taipei
she came back bec she met a canadian bf and as soon as they got to taipei, he broke up with her. âshe love him bec hes a biggieâ, she said
now she trying to get back to the usa by getting a visa bec her aunt is a usa citizen
Also Canada and Australia, but not just Taiwanese students. International students are charged more. The thing is, supply and demand. Germany and Italy can be almost free for international students, as long as students donât flood in there.
Big heart or big sausage?
Because youâre classed as international. And Taiwanese students that Iâve met say basically âWhy would I study free in Germany if âWeâ can afford the UK?â Thatâs very snobby but good for the UK. It might help pay for the flotillas of migrants living in tax payer funded hotels.
Didnât know the the Notorious B.I.G. was Canadian.
Maybe both?
Really? When I was living in Ireland, I did not know these kinds of people.
Exactly! Also, NTU at least also does this: international students pay a higher tuition than local ones (I donât know if this is for all majors, but it works this way for some grad school programs).
Probably most or all of the universities in Taiwan do this to some extent. But international students arenât seen as a good source of income because there isnât enough global demand for education at Taiwanese universities.
it was so good that she was in a âsituationshipâ for months in taiwan
A scooter commuter? Slam poetry often thrives on raw honesty but also values emotional depth or social critique, which this piece leans into more implicitly through its lens of urban life and casual encounters. Avant-garde spaces might embrace its shock value and linguistic dexterity, but some could argue it lacks the layered complexity of, say, Brechtâs alienation effect or Millerâs existential undertones.

no idea what this means.
but she was a 5 or 6 out of 10. gums show when she laughs
I thought we are talking about the UK ?
Yeah but most intl students in Taiwan get generous scholarships . Very different than US, UK, Ireland etc.
Itâs good brains donât show when we laugh or some of us would he in trouble eh

The NCKU International MBA students I hung out with in Tainan lived for free in campus dormitories (for what thatâs worth) and received a generous 30K NTD monthly stipend. Mostly upper class Latin Americans and South Asians back when Taiwan was doing dollar diplomacy by funding scholarships for citizens of countries that recognized the ROC. I must say they partied pretty hard. Good times.
Yeah itâs a very good deal. Those courses are piss easy too and they can also work on the side. I think those scholarships are open to almost everytbody not specific countries. But theyâll be selective right.
I had a student from Kiribati who transferred to a Chinese uni in 2019. 
selective? I knew some of the NCKU IMBA guys and some doing technical/science degrees. The other students called the IMBA guys âthe business boysâ and did not have much good to say. Lots of cheating, professors passing everybody and students who literally just sat silently in most classes with obviously plagiarized work in their presentations.
I attribute this to a futile attempt to put bodies into classrooms to counter the low birth rates in Taiwan.
