1) Proprietary / private student dorms which cost about 250-300-350 euros, (bills included). Generally
they provide breakfast and dinner. The laundry system is similar to the ones in Giessen dorms. The
regulations about entrance hours are different and strict and somehow strange when compared to
Germany. One will have some responsibilities like letting the administration know if one is staying out
for the night or going back late to dorm at night.
2) Apartments (preferred by both Erasmus students and the students in Izmir). Monthly cost of rent
ranges from 600 Turkish Liras to 750 Turkish Liras which correspond to 250 euros – 350 euros. The bills
are not included.
3) Shared flat for 120-150 euros including water, power and internet.
