The most important study expenses in Turkey

University admissions and academic rates make it a must for students to study in one of the different Turkish universities spread across all Turkish states, as students find themselves forced to move from their home cities to other states to study in public or private universities.

Therefore, during these student movements, students should conduct a comprehensive study about the costs of studying in Turkey and know the money related to university housing or private homes, and calculate the costs related to transportation wages, food and drink, and other personal expenses.

1. Student housing costs and prices in Turkey

Public university housing costs in Turkey (monthly)

Many university students are trying to obtain government university housing, which provides food, drink, and accommodation services at nominal prices. These university housing are spread in all Turkish states that contain government universities, and the costs of government university housing in Turkey range between 250 and 450 TL per month.

Average house rental prices in Turkey (monthly)

It is difficult to determine a fixed value for home rental prices in Turkey because the rental value in each state is different from the other, and according to some research conducted by some real estate platforms in 5 large cities, the average rental prices in Istanbul and Antalya exceeded 6,000 TL, and exceeded the average rent in Ankara is around 5,000 TL, and it reached 4,000 TL in Izmir and Bursa.

It should be noted that university students in Turkey usually share in renting houses, where each one of them lives in a separate room within one house, or several students share one room if necessary, and they share the rental value among themselves, so it is the responsibility of each student they collect about 2,000 TL in rent in Istanbul, for example.
