As internationalization gains importance, governments and higher education institutions are increasingly committed to promoting the development of campus internationalization, with recruiting overseas students being a key strategy to enhance campus internationalization and diversity. Coupled with the impact of declining birth rates on student populations, recruiting overseas students has also become an important measure for colleges to actively expand their student base. Nevertheless, even with government policy support and the appeal of the regional living environment, the allure of universities to overseas students remains subject to the conditions of the local community and the institutions themselves. Therefore, taking overseas students studying at higher education institutions in Taiwan as an example, this study first examines the spatial distribution of overseas students in Taiwan through spatial analysis methods to identify the spatial clusters. Then, this study uses regression analysis and to understand the relationship between school conditions (such as teaching quality, school reputation, etc.) and spatial factors (such as community industry development, etc.) with the number of overseas students. The data used in this study includes university location, student and institution data from the Ministry of Education, regional industrial structure data from the Ministry of the Interior, and university ranking performance.
