As an international student in Turkey, you have several accommodation options to choose from. Here’s a guide to help you find the best fit:
🏢 University Dormitories
Most universities in Turkey provide on-campus housing options. These dormitories offer affordable prices, convenient access to classes, and opportunities to meet other students. However, spaces are limited, so applying early is recommended.
🏠 Private Dormitories and Hostels
Private dormitories and hostels are another affordable option for students. They usually offer shared or single rooms with basic amenities and security.
🏡 Apartments and Shared Flats
Renting an apartment or sharing a flat with other students is a popular choice for those seeking more independence and privacy. Prices vary depending on the city and location, but this option often provides more comfort and flexibility.
