I was teaching English in Taiwan for a couple years, then was going to return to Canada to do a graduate degree when I heard they were offering full scholarships in Taiwan. I thought "I can study for free, plus make money teaching English rather than going home and into debt?". The only thing I don't regret about the decision is that I got to live in Taiwan for a couple more years, love it there. The program was a waste of time in terms of learning, and the paper has proved worthless in terms of job prospects. Taiwanese and students from other Asian countries had no shame in regards to plagrism or cheating during exams, it was actually hilarious at times. I once had a member of a group project send me his portion, and he hadn't even taken the blue links out of the entire Wikipedia page he had cut and pasted into a Word doc. I would rather be in debt right now, or have spent my time learning Chinese. My 2 cents... I did an undergrad in Canada and a Master’s degree in Taiwan at Cheng Kung University.

As long as Asian academics relies on western rankings rather than offer a valid debatable alternative, I'm afraid all you can do is ramble on...

All this data is worthless and completely focused on outsourcing and promoting western universities. Asian universities must not refer to this rubbish as they are far superior than the western ones.

This list is for comprehensive universities that include all fields of studies, and it has nothing to do with my personal preferences towards those universities, I quote the leading world rankings as they are. The "just do your homework" is a good advice I recommend you try and follow yourself next time.
