Accommodation
Kilis 7 Aralık University · Erasmus+ Programme
Accommodation
Finding a place to live in Kilis is easy and flexible for every budget. Incoming students use one of three options: state (KYK) dormitories, private dormitories or a rented flat. The Erasmus+ Office guides you through dormitory applications and flat-hunting; it cannot guarantee a place.
Important: Placement in KYK (state) dormitories depends on the assessment and capacity of the General Directorate of Credit and Dormitories; admission of exchange students to KYK dormitories is not guaranteed every semester. Please inform the Erasmus+ Office of your accommodation preference at least one month before arrival; the Office will share the current situation and alternative options with you.

Run by the Ministry of Youth and Sports; Kilis has female and male dormitories. Shared rooms, internet, study rooms and laundry. 2026–27 monthly fee 1,000 – 1,590 TL depending on room type.

2Private dormitories
Single and double rooms in the city centre and around the campus; fees depend on room type and services (meals, cleaning) and are higher than KYK. Contracts are usually per semester — ask in advance about shorter stays.
3Rented flat
Average rent for a 1- or 2-bedroom flat in central Kilis is ≈10,500 TL/month (October 2026 listing average); furnished flats cost more. A one-month deposit is usual; utilities (electricity, water, gas, internet) are not included. Sharing with two or three students is the most economical option.

How to proceed
- As soon as you receive the Acceptance Letter, e-mail your preference (KYK / private dormitory / flat) to erasmus@kilis.edu.tr; the office will tell you about dormitory availability and current options.
- Before arrival, arrange temporary accommodation for the first 1–2 weeks (teachers' guesthouse, university guest hotel, pension); flat-seekers choose after viewing in person.
- Contract and deposit: you may consult the office before signing a lease; the residence-permit application requires proof of address (lease or dormitory letter).
- Location: neighbourhoods within walking distance of the Main Campus (Mehmet Sanlı and surroundings) eliminate transport costs.
