NTUST president Chen Shun-tien claims that the advantage in merging schools together is that if done properly they complement one another. He believes his own arrangement with NTNU will help students improve in the humanities, languages and interpersonal relations. It may also change the source of enrollments making it easier to attract more talented high school students.
台灣科大校長陳舜田認為，併校的好處在於可以互補，台科大可以藉此提升學生在人文、語文、人際關係方面的素養，還可以改變學生來源，轉而招收素質較高的高中生。
