NTU HIGHLIGHTS

A successful study abroad experience is not defined by academic achievement alone. It also depends on emotional stability, mental wellbeing, and a balanced sense of daily life. At National Taiwan University (NTU), student wellbeing is regarded as a core part of “living well” on campus.

To help students manage stress and maintain emotional balance, NTU has established bibliotherapy-based “reading corners for mental wellbeing” across campus. These spaces offer curated Chinese and English books, providing a quiet environment for students to pause, reflect, and reorganize their thoughts.

Beyond reading-based support, NTU also offers a variety of therapeutic and restorative experiences, including horticultural therapy, animal-assisted activities, and farm-based wellness programs. These initiatives allow students to step away from academic pressure and reconnect with a slower, more grounded rhythm of life.

At the institutional level, student counseling and guidance services are embedded across all colleges through designated on-site advisors. Acting as frontline support, they connect students with both on-campus and external resources, helping them navigate a wide range of adjustment challenges in university life.

Professional counseling services are provided by both full-time and part-time licensed psychologists on campus. English-language counseling sessions are available, and international students may prioritize English-speaking appointments, ensuring that language is never a barrier to seeking help. Through this accessible support system, students can receive timely assistance whenever needed.

In addition, group counseling sessions and mental health workshops are offered each semester, creating spaces where students can share experiences, find understanding, and build a sense of community support.

Across all services, NTU emphasizes accessibility and responsiveness—ensuring that when students reach out, support is not only available, but readily within reach.
