    Abstract: Since the early 2000s, the call for internationalization at home has begun to focus on how internationalization would impact domestic students. Despite a growing body of research on this topic, little is known about the experiences of domestic students in a non-Western context. Based on focus-group interviews with 53 students at four universities in Taiwan, this paper examines how domestic students perceive and experience the changes on campus and in student life brought by university policies and practices of internationalization. “English as a medium of instruction” and “(lack of) intercultural contacts with international students” are two major themes emerged from the analysis. First, students are concerns about how the adoption of English as a medium of instruction affects the quality of learning and classroom interaction patterns. When English is a second language for both instructors and students, limitations in speech register and linguistic repertoire often generate detrimental impacts on the quality, efficiency, and experience of learning; including the depth of content in training, student comprehension, and classroom dynamics. It is also noted that whether English is perceived as a proper medium of instruction is related to respective disciplines’ characters. Second, domestic students often do not initiate contacts with international students, and intercultural contacts are often casual and short-lived. Reasons for domestic students’ lack of contacts with international students can be categorized into cultural, social, pedagogical, and institutional factors. The ensuing influence of domestic students’ “internationalization at home” experiences on their perspectives toward the internationalization of higher education is discussed, and suggestions are made to enhance domestic students’ quality of campus life in universities’ pursuit for internationalization.
