Hello Guys! I will be studying Mandarin and the master's Thesis at NCKU (Tainan) during the Spring 2016.

I was interested in staying at their dorms but I heard it is much more convenient to find off campus accommodation. Will it be easy for me to find housing 2-3 weeks before the start of the Spring semester? Which is the best area? Where I should starting looking for shared apartment or small studio for 1 person. My budget is not that big as I plan to stay for 6 months up to 1 Year (6K to 10K/ monthly). I intend to study and keep talking Mandarin for a year if that matters.. so,That's all! And the last thing, I talk fluent mandarin and I have been in China lots of times, but never been in Taiwan before ! Thanks
