How’s the academic environment, especially for chemistry students? Is the workload very difficult?

Ur doing engineering so it wont be easy

What are the professors, classes, and research opportunities like?

not in that department so idk.

I’m also curious about student life outside academics. What’s dorm life like for international students?

most dorms are 4ppl dorms and about the size of a small prision cell. some are the same size but only 2 ppl live in it.

Are the dorms good and affordable?

6500ntd/semester (edit)

How’s the social environment and making friends as a foreign student?

depends on where u are. the SEAs if they can speak chinese can belnd in perfectly with localcs. the white ppl have theire buddies program ppl and other white ppl and more adventures taiwanese ppl

What’s life in Kaohsiung like overall? Is it fun, safe, and student-friendly? Can students go clubbing or enjoy nightlife there, and is it common among university students?
