On-Campus Accommodation for Exchange Students:
On the serene campus of Sabancı University, which is located far from the bustling city, students find facilities to meet all of their daily needs.
Sabancı is a university with the highest student-housing rate in Turkey. The advantage of living on campus is the ability to attend group-study sessions and take part in club activities without spending a lot of time commuting. Other advantages to living in housing facilities are the various amenities and the reasonable prices. All dormitory rooms have showers and baths, wardrobes, and private telephones, as well as internet connections for all students. No curfews or "lights-out" policies are enforced.
In the application form, students must indicate their accommodation preferences, especially if they want to stay on campus. In this respect, the International Office will do its best to accommodate all students. However, capacity is limited. Priority will be given to students who apply on time (before the application deadline). Dorm rooms, which accommodate 2 students, are equipped with showers, closets, and personal telephones. You may buy an office-sized fridge for your room. Automatic washing machines, dryers, and irons are available for free in the laundry rooms in the dorm buildings. A private cleaning staff ensures that the housing and all shared common spaces maintain a high level of hygiene. Due to regulations, female and male students cannot stay in the same room.

Online Dorm Application Form
Your username and password to log in to the online dorm application form will be shared by the Student Resources Office by the time of application.
There is no first-come, first-served basis on the dormitory application system. You can update your application form until the end of the application deadline, and you can apply on the last day of the application.
You will not be able to stay in the dorms if you do not apply through the form until the announced deadline.
Campus Dormitory Fees
Here is the link: https://dorm.sabanciuniv.edu/en/dormitory-fees
Please note that incoming exchange students are exempt from the deposit fee.
It is only possible to pay by cash at the bank by showing your student ID card. Bank transfer or credit card payments are not possible. You need a TAX number for any kind of payment in Turkey. Our office will help you get this number during the orientation.
The dorm fees are paid upon arrival at Sabanci University. Students are allowed to check in the dormitories one week before the beginning of the semester. (This means not earlier than 2 days before the orientation. For example, if the orientation is on the 7th of Feb., exchange students can check in dormitories from the 5th of Feb.) Please check the earliest entrance day to the dormitory on the important dates page.
Important note:
Studio rooms/single rooms are only available for PhD full-time students, NOT for exchange students. The checkout should take place two days after the exam period is over at the latest. Please remember to notify the dormitory (yurtlar@sabanciuniv.edu) about your checkout date one week before your departure.
The type of room may change due to availability.
If you wish to change the type of your room, inform the dorm office and ask if there is any availability.
The latest check-out date is one day after the last day of the final exam period
NOTE:
If you want to leave the dormitories before the semester ends, the repayment will be made according to the following principles:
*If you want to leave in the first 15 days after the official course start date, you can get 75% back
*If you want to leave in the first 30 days after the official course start date, you can get 50% back
*A daily interest rate will apply to any late payments, so we strongly encourage you to complete your payment by the due date provided to avoid any additional charges.
