After the Chinese Civil War, members of the Soochow Alumni Association who fled to Taiwan established a shadow Soochow University in Taiwan to make up for the Soochow University (mainland China)|Soochow University lost on the mainland. The Soochow University in Taiwan has two branches: a downtown branch located near the ROC presidential office in Taipei's Zhongzheng district and the main campus located near the National Palace Museum in Taipei's Shilin district. The law and business colleges are located in the downtown campus. All other colleges are located in the main campus. Faculty and student housing are available on the main campus although they cannot meet demand. There are three female student dorms and two male student dorms with a total occupancy of 1,500. Many students commute to campus by bus and the subway system. Taiwan's first private university is headed by a president and a board of trustees. The University is divided into five schools or colleges, each having a variety of departments:

The main campus has indoor and outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a race track, a mini rock climbing wall, and a field that is used for both softball and soccer. Each year the university holds two major student athletic events. Much of the sports facilities on the main campus are on land owned by the Taipei city government rather than by the university. The city government has considered in the past to reclaim the land to build an expressway, but has decided to back off with this project. The university has 183 student clubs or societies.
