Student Dormitories | Secure Housing Options for International Students
🏠 Tailored Housing for International Students
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.

🌏 Off-Campus Housing | More Space & Flexibility
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.
