SDG 11.4.5 Affordable housing for students

1. There are seven dormitory buildings on campus that can accommodate up to 3,300 students. All buildings are access-controlled to maintain a safe living environment—students have to tap their cards to enter.

(1) A total of 79% of the rooms are economical three- to four-person shared rooms; 21% are two- or four-person single rooms. Rooms range from 16–29 square meters, with windows for ventilation. Each building includes a lounge and a reading room equipped with internet, air-conditioning, washing machines, dryers, vending machines, etc.

(2) Each building has nighttime dormitory counselors and self-governing student cadres to help students handle their issues.

(3) The fee per semester is NTD$5,930–9,230 for a shared room; NTD$15,000 for a four-person suite (including rooms for students with disabilities); and NTD$30,000 for a two-person suite. The cost of a shared room on campus is approximately 50% lower than that in the local market, while the fee for suites is determined based on the local market price, as shown in Table 1.

(4) Taking the four-person shared room in the Jinde Campus Student Dormitory No. 6 as an example, with a comparison with 12 universities, including normal universities and national universities in central Taiwan, shows that NCUE's offers the most affordable accommodation rates, effectively reducing students’ financial burden.

2. Number of rooms in campus dormitories: 549 rooms on the Jinde Campus and 338 rooms on the Baoshan Campus, with a total of 3,300 beds. This is sufficient to meet the housing needs of 45% of all students, as shown in Table 2.

6. On-Campus Accommodation Subsidies:

(1) To reduce students' accommodation expenses and help them focus on their studies, the Ministry of Education launched the "University and College Student On-Campus Accommodation Subsidy" program. In principle, the program provides subsidies of up to NT$5,000 per semester for each on-campus resident student, and up to NT$7,000 per semester for economically disadvantaged students. The program was officially implemented in February 2024, and the "Ministry of Education Guidelines for University and College Student On-Campus Accommodation Subsidies" were formally established on May 29, 2025.

(2) According to these guidelines, all on-campus resident students holding Republic of China (Taiwan) nationality, as well as overseas degree students who also hold Republic of China (Taiwan) nationality, are eligible for the subsidy. Students are not required to apply separately; the university will pre-deduct the subsidy amount based on the students’ status (general or economically disadvantaged) from the dormitory the payment notice. Resident students only need to pay the remaining balance. If the total dormitory is lower than the maximum subsidy amount, the subsidy will cover the full cost, resulting in no accommodation fee for that semester..

(3) Subsidy period: the semester runs from August to January of the following year, and the second semester runs from February to July, with the subsidy calculated on an 18-week-per-semester basis, excluding winter and summer breaks. In 2024, a total of 4,952 person-times received subsidies, amounting to NT$24,871,094 in total assistance.
