Accommodation and living costs in Europe

According to Study in Europe, a student in Turkey spends around €400–800 a month:

• accommodation – €150–400,
• food – €150–250,
• transport – €20–50,
• books and entertainment – from €50.

Istanbul is the most expensive.

Where to live:

• university residences on campus,
• state residences run by KYK in different parts of the city,
• private residences – usually better equipped, but more expensive,
• a rented flat – usually with a living room and 2–4 bedrooms, so often shared with others.

Almost all state and university residences are separate for women and men. The currency is the Turkish lira (TRY).
