I'm going on an exchange to Taiwan this fall, and am going to study at NTU.
There are very affordable dorm rooms on campus, which I have applied to, but there is no guarantee of getting a room.
Therefore I am looking into alternative solutions if necessary.
Ideally I'd like a solo studio apartment somewhere near NTU (or quickly accessible using public transit), but I am also willing to share an apartment.
My budget is realistically maximum 25000 NTD/month, but I may be able to stretch it to 30000/month if necessary.
I am aware of the Facebook groups and have joined a large number of them. I will definitely keep an eye out there.
I tried going on 591.com.tw, but since I don't yet read or speak any Mandarin I wasn't able to figure it out.
Do the members of this community have any general advice about renting or living in Taipei, or specific tips for places to look?
I'm interested in any and all information about this! :)
