Sports and Athletic Facilities
NCTU athletic facilities are home to the university sports teams. It is important in eastern philosophy to exercise both the mind and the body, such that both may be in harmony. The sport arena is open to all students.
NCTU is part of the nation’s most renowned inter-university competition, The Mei-Chu Tournament. The annual tournament between NCTU and rival National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) has been compared to the Oxford and Cambridge boat race as well as the Harvard and Yale annual football competition known as The Game. NCTU and NTHU have held the annual event since 1968 and NCTU holds the trophy which was brought back to the university in 1999 where it has remained since.

The exuberant voices of music,
Have charm for children but lack nobility; it is bitter earnestness
That makes beauty; the mind
