Living costs in Kaohsiung for an internship student?

Hi all, I recently received an offer to do an internship in Kaohsiung for a few months. The stipend is around 12,000 NTD/month.

I’ll be staying in a dormitory supported by the workplace, but I’m not sure yet how much the accommodation will cost me.

I know 12,000 NTD is not a lot, so I wanted to ask: would this be enough to survive in Kaohsiung for basic living expenses (food + accommodation)?

Also, how is transportation in Kaohsiung? Is public transport affordable and convenient for daily commuting?

I’m really excited because Kaohsiung seems like a very nice city, but I’m also a bit nervous since I don’t really have savings right now.

Thank you so much!
