Hey all

Im moving to Istanbul to study for 5 months and I need an aparment.. where should i start to look for that? I would be glad if there was atleast a bed and table

thank you advance!!

As you know, Istanbul is a big city of  Turkey.Im not living in there but i think you must to give a little more information about region. Where will you go to school  ? where do you want to stay ? may be other native users can help you in that time.  

What do you want a whole appartment for? A free couch should suffice.

It depends on where you´re studying, but most uni´s have a campus with rooms, and also special rooms for short-term international students. What kind of study are you doing and where?

Hey, yes Istanbul is huge..

I was just wondering if there is any kind of same system that we have in my country .. i mean some companies which rent accommodation for students.. and if there are some reliable web sites or something.. or what would be the best way to rent a room or something.. ?

my campus will be in Esenler.. ? DO you know the area and how "easy" it is .  ?

thank you for you all

Are you going to Yildiz? If you are, they have dormitories that are really cheap. You can count on something of 100 ytl per month.

In any case, I would contact somebody of the organization where you are studying. Perhaps they have an "international office" for incoming students? They can direct you to dormitories, or real estate agents that rent out rooms specially for students. You can also try to find a agent yourself, but there are some people out there who you just can´t trust. Most schools have more experiences with people having to rent a room for a short time and they can direct you to the right, trustworthy people.

 Every university has dormitories or there are Dormitories for university students, u can also search private dormitories around esenler. they are cheap and they gice lunch and dinner. When u come to istanbul u can contact with them.

Extra bonus of dormitories is that they are relatively safer!

 If you will be at Yýldýz Technical university or around i can suggest you some websites which u can find some students from that university that looking for roommate/home. but all of them are in turkish.
