Mr. Sander, one of international students from Estonia and with his major in IMBA program at NCKU, said that people in Tainan are friendly, which makes him feel comfortable as a foreigner.

Ms. Aullya, who comes from Indonesia and majors in Environmental Engineering, said that the reason why she chose NCKU is that NCKU is the top in the field of environmental engineering. Galuh and Lisa, friends of Ms. Aullya and with major in IMBA, express the feeling of safety because Taiwan is near to their home country. What the only thing they worry about is the flavor and food in Taiwan is quite different from theirs.
