"Student" apartment near Tai-Da

I’m leaving Taiwan in mid-July and coming back in early September, about a week before classes. When I come back, I’ll need to get an apartment near Tai-Da since I’ll be studying there. Is there any way I can start looking for apartments now? I thought the answer would be “no,” but some people suggested that I look anyway.

If I do look when I come back, is there an abundance of cheap one-bedrooms or two-bedrooms downtown near the universities? Will I have any problem getting a monthly lease rather than a yearly one? Is there anything else I should keep in mind?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I don’t know if there are no responses because this is such an easy question or because it’s such a hard one, but certainly someone on Forumosa has 2 cents to throw in!

It’s Sunday morning. Not many people are online. :slight_smile:

I see you posted this on Tuesday…dunno.

Oh, ok. Thanks.
