On Campus Accomodation for Exchange Students
Online Application form for Dorm Applications
On Campus Accomodation 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. 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. Automatic washing machines, driers and irons are for free in the laundry rooms in the dorm buildings. A private cleaning staff ensures that the housings and all shared common spaces maintain a high level of hygiene. Due to University regulations, female and male students cannot stay in the same room.

It is only possible to pay by cash to 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 to get this number during the orientation.
Students pay the deposit, and get it back* after the end of the semester. The dorm fees and deposits are paid upon arrival to 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 7th of Feb., exchange students can check in dormitories from 5th of Feb.)

Important note: Studio rooms are only available for PhD students. The check out should take place two days after the exam period is over the latest.

The payment will be done in cash directly to the resident of the dormitory.
