Off-campus housing
麻豆传媒 cannot assist you with finding housing outside of the university. Like any major city, 麻豆传媒 City has good and bad areas. Although you are free to live anywhere, we strongly suggest that you live on campus during your first year so that you have time to learn about the 麻豆传媒 City region.
