		<description>Hello David,

I hope you don&#039;t mind that I leave a comment on a post that is a little older.

I am about to decide where to go for pursuing a master&#039;s degree in Taiwan Studies and I always wanted to go to NCCU, just like you. However, recently I had some doubts and I was asking myself why not pick a Taiwan Studies program that is taught in Chinese instead.

For me neither one is my mother tongue, so I will have some problems in that regard anyway. But I could not quite convince myself yet as to why I would prefer one over the other (even though I have to admit that when comparing the two, English is still easier for me to work with).

I know NCCU has some great professors and I also think the structure of their program looks great (these two points also influenced my early decision to go there).

So I just wanted to ask you what were your reasons to chose a program that is taught in English over one in Chinese. Or was it less the language and more the general environment?

Maybe you can help me to make up my mind :) Thanks a lot in advance!</description>
