Taiwan

“Hello, 你好! My name is Julian Palomeque Lopez and I am a sophomore at Transylvania University majoring in biology, with minors in Studio Art, Business, and Spanish. Although Chinese wasn’t my major or minor, you may think why did I go to Taiwan? Well, the reason is for the experience! I miss Taiwan dearly which shows just how much this study abroad experience left a significant impact on me! I met and made many connections with other students and professors, I tried new and amazing food in Taiwán like the night market stalls. As well as exploring a new language, even though it wasn’t easy I enjoyed learning all about a new culture!”

“Studying abroad in Taiwan with KIIS was one of the best experiences of my life! Not only did I travel to a new country, but I also got to meet some of my best friends and have this unique experience with them by my side. From ascending Taipei 101 to cheering on the Dragon Boats to feasting on night market food, I wouldn’t trade my time in Taipei for the world!”

“Studying abroad in Taiwan provided me with so many amazing opportunities. I got to search the night markets for delicious foods, make friends with locals and my classmates, and really immerse myself in Taiwanese culture. I’m really glad I went, and it makes me want to study abroad again to practice my Chinese more!”

“The 2024 Taiwan Program was a positive experience for me because it improved my Chinese speaking skills and I made unforgettable memories with amazing new friends. Overall, this program was a summer of growth and adventure, and one I will never forget. I highly recommend this program to improve your Chinese, develop a better understanding of Chinese culture, or want an exciting, new experience.”
