If students will only be studying at MCU for one semester, we strongly suggest you stay in student dorm of the university since it's normally the easiest and most convenient solution for short-term visitors.

It will be your own responsibility to find your accommodation and please note it is difficult to find affordable short stay accommodation in Taipei city.
