Great experience ever!

September 19, 2025by: Sarah Williams - AustraliaProgram: Legend Diving's Marine Science & Diving Internship

10

I did a marine conservation internship at Legend Diving and it was an incredible experience. The most powerful part was seeing marine life up close and knowing I was actively helping them. Planting coral felt like I was contributing to a real, living ecosystem, and the feeling of seeing a manta ray or a sea turtle in the wild after learning how to identify them was just pure magic!! The team was fantastic and made the learning feel both fun and meaningful. If you're passionate about marine conservation and want to do more than just observe, I would highly recommend this internship. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever.

A high-quality gap year experience

September 13, 2025by: Professor H. & C.Program: Chinese Gap Year in Taipei | Learn, Live, Grow

10

When our son wanted to take a year between high school and college, we knew that Chinese Gap Year at NTU would be perfect. As alumni of ICLP, we were confident that he would receive world-class language training from experienced and caring instructors. Our son has made great progress over the year thanks to the carefully structured curriculum and small class sizes. CGY also hosts a wide range of cultural activities and extraordinary quarterly field trips, all of which provide students with opportunities to learn about life in Taiwan from many perspectives. And of course, Taipei is one of the best (and safest) cities in the world! We’d recommend CGY to any family looking for a high-quality gap year experience.
