Designated KYK Dormitories Open in Turkiye for the 2026 Summer Period

     Although classes at most universities in Türkiye come to an end during the summer months, many students may still need to remain in their city for various reasons. In particular, accommodation can become a serious issue during the summer period for students attending summer school, completing compulsory or voluntary internships, preparing for exams, or participating in courses and other educational activities required by their university.

​    For this reason, the General Directorate of Credit and Dormitories keeps certain KYK dormitories open as “designated dormitories” during the summer months. These dormitories are an important opportunity for students who need accommodation in different cities across Türkiye due to educational activities during the summer period. It should also be noted that these dormitories are offered at very affordable prices, approximately around 1,000 TL. Although meals are not included in the price, the food provided inside the dormitories is generally available at very affordable rates.

​

     Who Can Benefit from These Designated Dormitories?

  This opportunity is mainly useful for the following students:

• Students attending summer school;

• Students completing compulsory or voluntary internships;

• Students participating in courses or educational activities required by their university, faculty, or department;

• Students who need to stay in the city during the summer due to exams, laboratory work, projects, thesis work, or other academic reasons;

• Students completing internships within the framework of the National Internship Program.

​

     Why Should Students Apply for This Opportunity?

   During the summer months, finding short-term accommodation can often be difficult and expensive. Many landlords are unwilling to rent apartments for only one or two months, while hotels and daily rental apartments may not be suitable for a student budget. In this regard, designated KYK dormitories offer students a more accessible, organized, and safe accommodation option.

   This opportunity is especially important for students who are doing internships in another city or staying for summer school. It allows students to solve their accommodation problem in a more systematic way and avoid high short-term rental costs.

​

​

     What Should Students Pay Attention to During the Application Process?

   Students who wish to stay in designated dormitories are required to document the reason why they need accommodation during the summer period. For example, summer school registration, an internship document, an exam or course document, or another official document issued by the university may be requested.

   We recommend that students contact the Credit and Dormitories Provincial Directorate or the relevant dormitory administration in the city where they wish to stay in advance. It is always better to confirm the availability of places, application rules, required documents, and payment details directly with the official authorities.

​

     Important Note

   Designated dormitories are not intended as a general touristic or free accommodation option for all students during the summer months. This opportunity is mainly for students who need accommodation due to summer school, internships, exams, courses, or other educational activities. Applications may be evaluated depending on availability.

   Below, we present the list of designated dormitories that will remain open in Türkiye during the 2026 summer period.
