Hi,
Kinda stuck searching for an apartment. I’ve never rented before and finding it a bit overwhelming. Can’t speak any Chinese either which doesn’t help. Is 10000-15000 too low to find a mildly nice apartment near NTNU MTC, or is it just the off season at the moment? Not seeing much on 591.

Hi! I am the founder of http://myroomabroad.com/ and I currently live in Taipei. My Room Abroad is the fastest growing rental platform for student housing in Taipei. We created it because of the lack of solutions to book your room in advance in Taipei.
We collected over 1500 rooms with English contracts around universities. Most of the rooms are near NTUB. We meet face to face with all the landlords to make sure that they can speak English and that they can help the students if there is a probl…
Please note that I may have missed something or other in my search of the board.
NTNU also has some information.
