The on-campus dormitory is a priority placement for female students seeking proximity to academic facilities and a highly regulated living environment. Admissions and recruitment teams should note:

• Room types: Single, double and triple occupancy rooms. Fees and deposit requirements vary by room type and service level.
• Amenities: Furnished rooms, regular cleaning of shared areas, common study spaces, and easy access to campus facilities.
• Security and community: Controlled access, staff presence, and residence life programming support academic success and wellbeing.
• Application: Applications are coordinated through the university’s International Office; availability can change quickly so earlier submission is recommended.

For male students and those who prefer private accommodation, Haliç University maintains relationships with a network of private dormitories and residences close to campus. Key considerations for agents and admissions teams:

• Variety: Options range from single-occupancy studios to shared rooms with up to six occupants, with corresponding price variations.
• Flexibility: Many private residences have relaxed entry/exit hours, and often bundle utilities into monthly fees.
• Amenities: Some operators offer cafeteria services, laundry, gym access and study rooms — amenities differ by operator and price point.
• Coordination: The International Office provides recommended lists and introduction support to help students evaluate options and sign contracts.

Apartment rentals are popular for students wanting independence and longer-term leases. Recruiters and placement agencies should note:

• Options: Furnished or unfurnished units; short-term sublets for arrivals and longer leases for full academic terms.
• Shared living: Students frequently share apartments to lower costs — Study in Turkiye can help match compatible roommates when requested.
• Practical support: The International Office advises on neighbourhoods well connected to campus public transit and assists with contract understanding and utilities setup.

• International Student Orientation: Held near the start of the academic year (typically in September) to present housing updates, registration guidance and campus services.
• Residence permit and insurance guidance: Step-by-step help navigating legal registration and mandatory health insurance — an essential service for international students.
• Counselling and transitional support: Staff help new students review housing contracts, set up utilities and resolve common onboarding issues.

• Minimum standards: A defined set of minimum standards for university-linked residences.
• Communication: Regular communication between the International Office and residence operators to resolve student concerns and maintain quality.
• Deposits and refunds: Clear deposit and refund processes to reduce disputes — a key metric for partner satisfaction.

Pre-acceptance (6–12 months before arrival)

• Provide prospective students with a housing options overview and deadlines.
• Encourage female students to apply early for the on-campus Girls’ Residence.
• Collect housing preferences (room type, budget, roommate requests).

Post-acceptance (3–6 months before arrival)

• Share official dormitory application forms and private-residence recommendations.
• Confirm deposits and payment instructions with students.
• Provide students with a checklist for residence permit and insurance documentation.

Arrival and start of term (August–September)

• Direct students to the International Student Orientation for final registration and housing allocation updates.
• Ensure students have emergency contacts and residence administrator details.
• Follow up within the first month to confirm successful move-in and address issues.

• Valid passport and admission letter.
• Proof of payment or deposit for dormitory or private residence.
• Health insurance documentation.
• Local address for residence permit registration.

Admissions teams should prepare templated emails and document checklists to reduce delays and support compliance.

When advising students, consider three dimensions: safety, budget, and commute.

• Safety-first placements: Recommend the Girls’ Residence for female students prioritising secure, campus-integrated living.
• Cost-sensitive placements: Suggest shared private dormitories or shared apartments.
• Commute-focused students: Recommend neighbourhoods with direct public transit routes to Haliç campus — the International Office can recommend specific areas.

• Female students may prefer the university-run residence for culturally aligned support and community programming.
• International students from different backgrounds benefit from roommate-matching guidance to promote compatibility and reduce conflicts.
• Encourage students to attend early orientation and social introduction events to build support networks.
