[[National Taiwan University]] (NTU or ''Tai-Da'') was established in 1928 during the period of Japanese colonial rule. NTU has produced many political and social leaders in Taiwan. Both [[pan-blue coalition|pan-blue]] and [[pan-green coalition|pan-green]] movements in Taiwan are rooted on the NTU campus. The university has six campuses in the greater Taipei region (including [[New Taipei]]) and two additional campuses in [[Nantou County]]. The university governs farms, forests, and hospitals for educational and research purposes. The main campus is in Taipei's Da-An district, where most department buildings and all the administrative buildings are located. The College of Law and the College of Medicine are located near the [[Presidential Office Building (Republic of China)|Presidential Office Building]]. The [[National Taiwan University Hospital]] is a leading international center of medical research.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ntu.edu.tw/english/about+ntu/location/ntumap.htm |title=National Taiwan University – About NTU |date=6 August 2007 |access-date=27 July 2009}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

[[National Taiwan Normal University]] (NTNU or ''Shi-Da'') likewise traces its origins to the Japanese colonial period. Founded as Taihoku College in 1922 and organized as a teacher training institution by the Kuomintang in 1946, NTNU has since developed into a comprehensive international university. The university boasts especially strong programs in the humanities and international education. Worldwide it is perhaps best known as home of the [[Mandarin Training Center]], a program that offers [[Mandarin language]] training each year to over a thousand students from scores of countries throughout the world.  The main campus, in Taipei's Daan district near MRT Guting Station, is known for its historic architecture. The Shida market area surrounding this campus takes its name from the school's acronym.
