At Shih Chien University (USC), we understand that finding the right place to live is a key factor in a student's successful adaptation to life abroad. Therefore, we provide on-campus dormitories as the primary housing option while also assisting students in navigating the off-campus rental market. Whether you prefer to live on campus initially or move off-campus once you are more familiar with the environment, USC provides clear guidance and support for every step of your journey.
Our dormitories are particularly suitable for international students arriving in Taiwan for the first time.
Essential Amenities: Each room is equipped with beds, desks, storage space, and communal living areas to meet your daily needs.
Safety & Management: We prioritize a secure environment with management staff on-site to reduce the anxiety of adapting to a new country.
Prime Location: Located within walking distance of classrooms and campus facilities, dorms save you commuting time and help you immerse yourself in campus life.
Cultural Exchange: More than just a room, dorms are a hub for building international friendships and developing intercultural communication skills.

As students become more comfortable with life in Taiwan, some may choose to rent off-campus for more independence and lifestyle choices. Taiwan has a mature rental market offering everything from studio apartments to shared flats. When looking for off-campus housing, we highly recommend prioritizing proximity to MRT stations, as the MRT is the most convenient transportation system in Taiwan.
591 Housing Rental: The most popular platform in Taiwan with extensive listings and map functions. You can use Google Chrome’s built-in translation to browse listings and check distances to MRT stations.
Size Measurement: In Taiwan, floor area is measured in "Ping" ($1\text{ Ping} \approx 3.305\text{ m}^2$).
Space Tip: "Ping" usually includes public spaces (stairs/elevators). For a realistic estimate of usable space, subtract about 20% to 30%.
Community Resources: Many students find housing through Facebook groups such as:
Chinese: "台北租屋、出租專屬社團"
English: My Room Abroad, Taipei Apartment Rental Network, or Rental Taiwan.
Advice: Always view the property in person and verify the contract details before signing!
