Housing in Taiwan

Apartments in Taiwan are generally spacious and relatively CHEAP! If you've taught English in Korea or Japan you'll be amazed. If you're a first timer, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

In many cases schools in Taiwan don't provide housing with your teaching job but they do provide assistance for you to find housing. This assistance is extremely helpful when trying to negotiate leases and find a location you're comfy with.

Apartment hunting in Taiwan can be a mind-boggling challenge BUT with a little luck and a lot of patience, you may hit the jackpot and your housing is going to be your oasis, your respite, your place to escape to noise, the smells, the sensory overload; you get the point.

Living standards in Taiwan are not quite the same as in the West but rest-assured it can be pretty comfy. Find a nice place. Get comfortable and you'll get more out of your teaching experience in Taiwan.

The cost of an apartment in Taiwan varies from city to city. In all cases, apartments in Taiwan are much cheaper than one might expect. As a note a cheap hostel will cost about NT$6,000/month.
