You sre very lucky, deli_kizin that your parents will pay for you during your stay in Turkey. i will go to Turkey to university for 5 months and I will have to pay for everything myslef. And only a student's hostel will cost 500YTL per month ( or 90$ if I choose state hostel with hot water once a week during the winter)...

Well, I first read Deli_K's post, then yours, and the situations are quite different..
Then again, with all due respect Deli_K, but I think yours is rather an exception.. you are a lucky girl indeed..
Anyway, I wish the both of you a great experience.

Well. 370 euros, which Deli_kizin finds low, will be my whole scholarship there...And almost whole money I will have there...I'm lucky because I can go there, but unfortunately my parents can't help me much...

The point in my situation is: I don't get a scolarship at all! And being 18 and just finishing highschool, means I haven't got my own income.
So far, the money I get, will be paid by my parents. If everything goes well and they understand that living tehre is successfull for me, the money will be a gift: in Holland they would pay my education as well. It's more expensive in Holland, studying and living, so for my parents this is financially even positive. (not that much but each bit counts). If it doesn't go so well and if the chances to find a job are not that good, but I still want to stay, I have to pay back the money to them when I finish university.
So It means I have some sort of 'parental loan', which can turn out into a gift if I proove that all is going well with me.
I do realize I'm an exception. I'm lucky to have parents who are willing to support me in such an 'adventure' without knowing their money is well-spent. But they know I worked hard for it too: I've had a part-time job through out the year and I will use that money to furnish my house and pay for my course. More I can't do. If I got a scolarship, my parents would only have to pay half of what they need to pay now. but unfortunately, Holland doesn;t grant scolarships for Turkey.

And please don't misunderstand me.. 370 euros is a lot of money. But in Holland, a student needs around 600 euros each month to provide a living! So in my case, 370 euros to live from each month, is low, compared to what I would need if I stayed here.
I tried to go into a student's hostel too, but because I don't get a scolarship, they don't accept me tehre. This is the reason I started looking for an appartment. I pay 450 YTL for it, but electricity and those things are not included.
Thank you for your advice Elisa  I'm already working on it  But one of my friends in Turkey, Didem, she can nearly cook anything! So I think I'll take weekly lessons with her

I understand you. If I hadn't got this scholarship, I couldn't go to Turkey at all. I also have a part time job and work at weekends, I understand you very well. You are lucky, because you parents are able to help you and because you come from Holland too

the price of flats depend on the place where the flat is situated.My friends has a flat 130m2 (3+1) near the metro station in bornova and pays 250 New turkish liras for one months.he is lucky but around him the prices are between 400-600 new turkish liras for a month.But if you wanna find a cheaper place,you should look for in ''Ataturk mahallesi'' where is abit away from sea.
