Günaydın arkadaşlarım,
I would like if every person here who lives in Turkey, would like to add his/her name to the list and tell me their appartment and the price they pay each month for rent. Forgive me if this is rude to ask, but i need to get some idea in my mind. (You can use either euros or liras, doesn't matter  . Btw, if you don't feel like posting it in public, please send me a PM, the information will be safe with me 
For example:
Deli_kizin:
- 2 bedrooms, livingroom, kitchen, bathroom, balcony
- 600 liras
Next person:
- Type of appartment/amount of rooms
- price in either euros or liras
My appartment is figurative as i don't have one  I just need a 1-person-appartment, but i would like to hear from everybody, even if they live (like Kadir) together with a friend.
Thanks so much in advance

I think a lot depends on where you live. I know in Ayvalik, I could rent an 2/3 bed apartment, salon, b/r, kitchen for approx £1,000 per year! In Mersin 5 years ago, you could BUY a small apartment (not in a good area I admit) for £1,000!
Whatever you do, don't try and rent somewhere from an agent in Holland. It is best to get Kadir to find somewhere, because it will be cheaper

Our apartment we currently live is ours, but 2 years before our rent was around 600ytl per month plus around 120ytl for the apartment gos (maintenance, gas, doorman). (3+1, 3 balcony,120 m2, Kadıköy, Istanbul)
In Istanbul the rents start from 500 and go up to 1500ytl, I guess.

OMG i actually just put the 720ytl in the converter n that's only about 370 euros  So let's say: 720 ytl for life-costs, excluding food and clothing?

Yes, but I couldn't understand if you find it high or low. According to turkish standards it's quite a big amount, and don't forget Esther that you're going to live with turkish salary in the future

I find it low and I'll explain why: In Holland for the same amount of money you can find a bedroom and a living room if you're lucky. Your bathroom and kitchen will be shared with other members in the appartment building. And about the living room,, it might be a shared one as well. You can probably forget about the balcony or any thing that would count as a garden. The kitchen and bathroom will probably get painted in awful childish colors and the students living there, will use paint and filtpens, to write message on it to eachother :-S
Yes, it's true that there is much chance that I will get Turkish salary in the future, but now you mustn't forget that I'm gonna marry my heartdoctor And I still hope of becoming a journalist or interpreter under Dutch standards. If not.. we'll see how it goes. First get through the unviersity-years with as less money as possible, as my parents will have to pay for it. And mind you, I'm not burning my fingers on serving pancakes in the weekends just because i like it
