Affordable housing for students
- NCKU Forms of Student Dormitory Charge and Specification
NCKU guarantees housing affordability and equity by institutionalizing a transparent fee schedule and affordability evaluation framework across its student dormitories. The university directly supplies more than 5,000 beds across multiple campuses, providing diverse accommodations from 2- to 4-person suites and shared rooms. Semester fees for undergraduate accommodations start from NT$6,700 per semester (equivalent to approximately NT$1,488 per month). Compared to prevailing commercial rents around campus (NT$6,000–9,000 per month for private student apartments), NCKU’s rates represent an effective housing subsidy of 70% to 80% below market value, ensuring students access secure and highly affordable accommodations.https://housing-osa.ncku.edu.tw/p/412-1052-2428.php?Lang=zh-tw
- NCKU Inaugurates Brand-New Dongning Student Dormitory, Delivering a High-Quality Living Environment
To further meet growing student accommodation demands and alleviate off-campus rental pressures, NCKU constructed the new Dongning Dormitory. With its official opening, the modern dormitory complex adds 993 beds across single- and multi-occupancy room layouts, equipped with private en-suite bathrooms, energy-efficient air conditioning, well-lit balconies, communal lounges, and access control security systems. While upholding highly affordable rates, Dongning Dormitory significantly elevates living quality and safety, showcasing NCKU’s sustained commitment to expanding physical affordable campus housing and supporting young students through concrete infrastructure developments.https://web.ncku.edu.tw/p/406-1000-285183,r3822.php?Lang=zh-tw
- Fee Reduction or Free Accommodation for Eligible Students
NCKU provides on-campus housing subsidies and fee reduction programs. Eligible students include domestic students, economically disadvantaged students, and qualified students with designated special statuses. For domestic students in standard dormitories, a subsidy of NT$5,000 is automatically deducted from the dormitory fee bill, with no online application required. Other qualified students may apply for housing fee reductions or subsidies during the designated application periods each semester by uploading the required supporting documents. This initiative aims to ease the housing burden on disadvantaged students and ensure equal access to education.https://housing-osa.ncku.edu.tw/p/406-1052-286366,r406.php?Lang=zh-tw
