The government proposed "New Southbound Policy" in August 2016, and one of the objectives of this policy is to attract students from Southeast Asian countries to study in Taiwan. The aim of the study is not only to investigate why students from these countries chose to study in Taiwan and did not study in their countries, but also to share their experience in Taiwan and point out "New Southbound Policy" suggestions they could make. It employed the interviews method, that is, interviews with 13 students from Southeast Asia, who were studying in Taiwan. This study yielded the following findings. First, the macro environment factors affecting the students to study in Taiwan included: distance and increasing bilateral trade between Taiwan and their motherlands; higher cultural and living standards; advanced development of universities and lower admissions requirements of the universities; the students' previous study abroad experiences along with their intention to stay in Taiwan after graduation, to enhance living allowance, and to experience a different life. Second, these students decided not to study in their motherlands for-experience abroad, Taiwan's excellent higher education and low tuition fees, the freedom to choose various disciplines, and Chinese language learning as well. Third, the biggest advantages that the informants acknowledged were the openness and freedom in Taiwan, plus the improvement of their Chinese language ability. Fourth, universities attracted these students for the good campus environments, scholarships, Chinese language learning, low tuition fees, and diverse courses. Fifth, the informants urged the universities to enhance bilateral cooperation, faculty's research abilities, the Chinese language remedial instruction and counseling system; to remove negative labels from Southeast Asians; and to provide more language courses. Sixth, they also recommended ways to attract the target students, including more English-only courses and more information concerning universities in Taiwan for teachers and students in Southeast Asian countries. Seventh, to further develop the "New Southbound Policy," they urged the universities to strengthen globalization competitiveness for an international brand image, help the students with their Chinese language ability, and make good use of new immigrant women for the promotion.
