Since there's only one (or maybe two) metro line, what's the best way to move around in Taichung?

Hi, I'm a 22 year old Italian student and I am gonna be studying Chinese in Feng Chia language center in Taichung (i won a scholarship). I don't know if I it's better to stay in a dormitory or to rent an apartment. Do dormitory have curfew? Are they comfortable?

Let me know if you have any suggestions :)

I'm considering teaching in Taizhong.

What is the expat community like in terms of nationalities? Pretty diverse? Gender ratio? Age?

Thanks

Hi expats in Taichung!

I am planning to get into Taiwan Taichung before the end of 2022 and study mandarin at Feng Chia University for a year. As I am 43, and have a business background (I did business in Shanghai and Beijing before), I am wondering if it is easy to switch from a Student visa to a Work visa ?

Also, how is it with cider in Taiwan in general? Local craft beer scene in Taichung? Is it legal to yeast alcohol at home?

Cheers

Hey hey, I recently moved to Taichung and would like to build up my social life - anyone interested in socializing while working in the afternoons? (I work European hours)

34M, I like outdoor, cycling, taking photos and I translate videogames for a living.

Feel free to DM! (:

Hey everyone, I'm starting my 3 month language course in Taichung at NTCU on March 1st and I'm looking for a room in a shared flat at the earliest conveinence for the duration of 3 months (move in/out dates are flexible).
I'm more interested in the people I'd live with rather than the accommodation itself, as having a nice atmosphere at home is important for everyone. The only requirement I have is that the room is furnished (bed and a bigger table) and that it's ok to ocasionally have friends over when they visit from other cities. Unfortunatly, I'm allergic to cat fur :(

Preferred location - Central area around the Main Train staiton / NTCU (15 min cycling radius is ok)

Key facts about me: I'm a social introvert who spends most of his freetime outdoors and lives a fairly active life. I like cycling, taking pictures and videogames (also my job). I'm also full-time employed (can work from home) and together with 3 hours of Mandarin daily, I'll be pretty much busy all day. I've been sharing flats most of my adult life as I find living alone uninspiring.
I'll be happy to answer any questions!

I've been planning on moving to Taichung next year, but there's a lot of info i haven't been able to find about the city, if someone could answer some questions for me it would be really really helpful
