Taiwan Normal University is one of Taiwan's three major teacher training universities and the best of all teacher training and education schools, the whole can be comparable to the mainland's 985 colleges and universities, so the learning style is naturally very good, and the quality of the early students can be compared to even the best of Taiwan's best, Taiwan's best, the Qing Dynasty, Cheng Cheng Cheng Zheng.
Currently in Taiwan to become a primary and secondary school teachers is very difficult, so the teacher education class is more cold, resulting in the overall quality of the students enrolled in the University of Normal probably fell to the level of Taiwan's National University of the middle generation, but in Taiwan, as well as one of the famous schools.
This school is located in Taipei City, the campus environment is considered very good, surrounded by a very lively Normal University night market shopping district, near the MRT (subway) Guting station, you can take the MRT to Taipei City, New Taipei City, and if you want to leave the greater Taipei area can take the MRT to the Taipei Railway Station, and then take the train to the outside counties and cities.
Taiwanese students are generally very welcoming to exchange students from China and do not discriminate against them. As long as you don't talk about radical political topics or express your political stance, you will generally get along very well.
The question about accommodation at Taiwan Normal University should be asked whether your school will provide accommodation for you during your exchange program at TNU, which should be explained in detail before you leave for your exchange program in Taiwan. You should ask your school if they provide you with accommodation during your exchange program at NTNU, which should be explained in detail before you go to Taiwan for your exchange program. If the school does not provide accommodation, the average cost of living in Taipei plus the cost of renting a room outside will cost more than 3,000RMB, and for those who like to eat, drink, and have fun, about 4,000-5,000RMB will not be out of the question. I'm not sure about medical care, although there are a lot of clinics in Taiwan, but because of the unlike Taiwanese students who have health insurance, I'm not sure about the cost of medical care. Transportation costs depend on what kind of transportation you are taking and where you are going, and for a two-day and one-night trip, it's about 1,000-2,000RMB. Universities in Taiwan don't require uniforms, and this is the first time I've seen anyone ask if they do. Only one or two technical colleges or vocational schools require uniforms. If you see students wearing high school uniforms on campus, it's probably just a fun uniform day event.
I'm not familiar with the Hong Kong Institute of Education, so I'll defer to someone who is.
Of course it's up to you where you want to go, so I'm going to repost an overview from my personal blog on Baidu space:
National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU): Located in the Daan District of Taipei City, one of Taiwan's three teacher training colleges. The National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) trained many educators for Taiwan in the early days, including teachers for primary and secondary schools, but since there is no longer a guarantee of becoming a teacher after graduating with a degree in education, the scores and reputation began to decline, but there is still a level of middle-grade schools. Recently, the university has been actively transforming itself into a training center for industry professionals, so it has added more engineering and business majors. TISU has a wide range of majors in the fields of arts, business, and science, of which education and science-related majors are the most prominent, and the engineering and business majors are not too bad either. Taiwan's five-year, 50-billion-dollar program receives 90 million Taiwan dollars annually. The new five-year $50 billion program, which will run from 2011 to 2015, will receive $200 million per year.
If you have any other questions, please visit the Taiwan Exchange Student Forum website, where there are exchange students who have been to TISU. The URL is often not displayed when I repost it, so if you are interested, please find it yourself.
Welcome to Taiwan.
Almost all of the programs at NTNU are located at the main campus on Heping East Road, except for the College of Science, which is located on the Gongguan Campus, which is near NTU. I'll have to ask someone else to answer that one.
