It will depend on what kind of apartment you want. If you don't mind sharing an apartment with a housemate, there are rooms for around 6000-8000NT (180-245USD). If you want your own place it is more expensive maybe 10000-16000NT (300-485USD) and up. If you are studying at a university, you might be able to stay in their dormitory for much cheaper. I don't know about Taipei dorms, but in the town I was in, it was something like 7000NT for three months, which is under 100USD a month. There are curfews and other rules though so if you want more freedom you might not like it. You can look at apartments listed on http://tealit.com/index.php and http://www.taiwanted.com/index.php?catid=42 to get an idea of how much things are. As for electricity, you have to ask the landlord. Sometimes everything is included and sometimes you have to pay separately. I think usually you have to pay separately, but still ask. Also, if you live a little outside of Taipei center, like Beitou, Yonghe, or even further out in Xindian, Danshui you should be able to find some cheaper places. Hope that helps some. Have fun in Taipei~

if you rent a room and share the rest with your housemates, it will cost you about USD200 if you live in taipei city if you rent an apartment for yourself that would cost at least USD500

i was at taida for a sememster 3-4 years ago... if you live on campus you pay something ridiculous like $6000NT for the whole sememster (yes, the WHOLE semester)... also, taiwan is very funny because there is a wide disparity in rental property - it also depends on where you are living. if you want to live near sogo or other 'nicer' areas, you are looking at 18,000 - 20,000NT a month... but if you're looking for a loft next to school and or a place that is not as extravagent, you're looking at 5,000-8,000NT a month.... and for you; you may want to look at furnished apartments which could be a little more... make sure you go someplace with an aircondition!!! because it is going to get nasty during the summer time... all utilities are cheap except for the air condition...

I stayed in a place that cost 14,000 a month, a quite big 1 bedroom apt. A studio would go for about 8-10,000 a month I think. It also depends on the area you look in.
