Um, I used to go to Minchan University in Taiwan to pursue my bachelor’s degree in international business and trade, uh, around, um, 2017. Uh, my university is a, uh, three story university. It has a big yearaw sports like basketball, tennis, and there is also an auditorium for special events like graduation ceremony. Um, there are many students, overseas students, and also local taiwanese students studying in the university. So the university is also located, ah, near a very famous, um, nine markets, whose name is, um, um, ##t nai market. Um, the location is really, is really convenient for every student because they only need to, and other students only need to take an MRT, uh, for going to the university. Um, so for me, it was a bit daunting at first because I I had to go back and forth from my dorm to the university for around, uh, 25 minutes every day. Uh, I know it’s not a really far distance for, uh, many students, but for me, who come, who comes from Vietnam, and we don’t actually, uh, walk, we just do bicycle and motor bike, uh, or even car to, um, as a means of transportation, as a main means of transportation, uh, for everyday, um, commute. So when I first came to Taiwan and I register, uh, for the university, uh, you know, it was a walk in the park. And it was really, really hard for me to get used to, um, the, um, the lifestyle and walk to school every day like that. But after two years, I feel, I love the place. I love the university because it also has a really big library for everyone to, um, uh, discover, uh, any new knowledge that they, um, they want for their research as well.

I attended Minchan University in Taiwan to pursue my bachelor's degree in international business and trade, starting around 2017. The university is a three-story building with a large courtyard for sports like basketball and tennis. There's also an auditorium for special events like graduation ceremonies. The student body is diverse, with a mix of overseas and local Taiwanese students. The university is conveniently located near a famous market called "Shilin Night Market." It's easily accessible for students, as they can simply take the MRT to get there. For me, initially, the commute was a bit challenging. I had to walk back and forth from my dorm to the university for about 25 minutes every day. While this might not seem like a long distance for many students, it was a significant change for me, coming from Vietnam where we primarily use bicycles, motorbikes, or cars for transportation. When I first arrived in Taiwan and registered for the university, the walking commute was a new experience. It took some time to adjust to this lifestyle. However, after two years, I grew to love the university and its location. It has a large library where students can explore new knowledge and resources for their research.
