National Taiwan University was originally founded in 1928 as Taihoku Imperial University by the Japanese Government. At the time, it was one of the nine Imperial Universities in the Japanese Empire. Many of the buildings on campus still preserve the architectural style of the Japanese colonial era. After World War II, the school was renamed National Taiwan University. Following decades of investment and multiple reorganizations, it is now widely regarded as the most prestigious university in Taiwan. National Taiwan University is also the largest university in Taiwan in terms of both students enrolled and land area. Palm Tree Boulevard （椰林大道） is the backbone of the main university campus, lined with beautiful palm trees planted there since the Japanese era. Every March, NTU hosts a school festival called the Azalea Flower（ツツジ）Festival. Lots of people come to the university at that time to view the beautiful flowers. Student clubs set up booths and host performances, The most interesting tradition during the Azalea Flower Festival is using fallen flower pedals and organizing them into words or pictures along the Palm Tree Boulevard. Many young men or women use this tradition to show their feelings for the person they like, and it is very romantic!

The Catholic University of Leuven is a Flemish university located in the City of Leuven and was founded by Pope Martin V in 1425 as the first university of the Low Countries and is the oldest Catholic University in the world. In 2006 more than 30,000 students were attending classes at the 14 faculties of the University of Leuven. Among those 14 faculties the largest are the faculty of letters, economics and science.

Because of this academic reputation, Leuven attracts students from all over the world and Leuven has been participating in several international exchange programs, like Erasmus and Socrates.

Being a student at the Catholic University of Leuven myself, I am very happy to be able to study there. I like the student friendly, open and academic atmosphere. Because there are so many international students, I have had the chance to make friends from all over the world.
