Turkey is cheaper in many respects than most of the Western countries. Most Turkish students live on around 250 - 350 € per month including the cost of dormitories.
| Accommodation (Dormitory) | 50 to 60 € per month |
| Furnished House Rent | 300€ per month |
| Household Expenses | 100 € per month |
Transportation is also quite reasonable for students. Buses run in every 10 minutes and a student ticket costs 50 cents for in-city public transportation.
