Students on exchange pay in-state tuition directly to USC and do not pay tuition to NTNU. All housing, food, and personal expenses are paid by the student in Taipei. NTNU suggests that students budget approximately NT$14,000-22,000 per month for housing and living expenses. The actual cost can differ depending on the student’s lifestyle. To get an idea of​ ​life on site, you will find on the numbeo website indications on the cost of living in Taiwan compared to other countries in the world.

Students typically take four courses  per semester. If students meet proficiency requirements they may take courses in Chinese. To see courses UofSC students have taken at this university, please reference the Registrar's Course Equivalency Table. 

This program does not offer organized excursions. Students do have the opportunity for individual travel. There are over 150 student run clubs for students to get involved in at National Taiwan Normal University. 

Per university policy, all UofSC students will be charged emergency medical, evacuation and repatriation insurance for their time abroad. Contact the Education Abroad Office for more details.

 NTNU currently has twelve student on-campus dormitories. Housing is guaranteed for students on exchange. 

The Fall semester begins in mid-September and runs through mid-January. There is a five-week break before the Spring semester begins mid-February and runs through the end of June.
