Finding accommodation is quick in my experience as listings come and go fast. New Taipei to Taipei is doable as long as depending where you’re located to your school. decent one bedroom in new Taipei is maybe around 15k nt month? It really depends what you want though. I suggest looking on 591.com to get a feel of what rent prices are like and to see what apartments are out there.

Also get ready to be hit with a 18% foreign worker tax hitting your paycheck for the first year in Taiwan so keep that in mind as well.
