Student Life
ACCOMMODATION
International students have a variety of options to meet their accommodation needs throughout their educational life in Turkey. Students can stay in university dormitories located within the campuses, in state dormitories managed by the KYK (Higher Education Credit and Hostels Institution) located at various points in the city, in private dormitories, or in the apartments they rent in the city.
Almost all of the state dormitories and university dormitories in Turkey are separate for male and female students. Although the number of students staying in the rooms is variable, prices may increase or decrease usually depending on the number of people staying in the room.
