Taiwan: Student Comments
“I liked the constant newness of my experience. I like meeting new people, seeing new things, and having all the experiences that I didn't plan on having.” —EAP Student “Studying abroad exposed me to a different environment and culture, enabling me to better understand Taiwan's political and economic situations. I was also able to learn the language at a much faster rate than at home and make many valuable friends.” —EAP Student “EAP provided me with a new sense of confidence and a new understanding of people.” —EAP Student “The program made me become more of a transnational, to see all people as friends. I just learned more about life, interacting with people, and myself.” —EAP Student “In addition to coming to understand and be sympathetic to Chinese culture and history, I was able to reflect on the condition of my own country and society from a non-American perspective.” —EAP Student “There's a level of expectation that pushed me to make the best of my time there.” —EAP Student “Don't try to imagine what it will be like, just experience it!” —EAP Student “Taiwan is a great place to be exposed to the Chinese language and culture (traditional and modern). I learned a lot.” —EAP Student “Can't think of any single experience to share but I definitely had the time of my life. And I learned a whole lot too! I like Taiwan so much that I'm still here!” —Mimi Liu, UC Santa Barbara “Being in Taiwan opened up a totally different world for me. In a short commute, I could go from the city to the mountains, from a park to a temple, from campus to the bustling night market. The small class sizes allowed my language teachers to become my friends. I gained a lot of insight into the Taiwanese culture and improved my Chinese ability more than I expected. I loved every minute of my experience!” —Jessica Saeheng, UC San Diego
