STUDENT HOUSING

Bilkent University offers undergraduate student housing on campus, in twenty-five dormitories accommodating over 4,000 students. Advice and information about accommodation in dormitories can be obtained from the Dormitories Administration Office, Bilkent University, 06800 Ankara, Turkey. Admission to the university does not automatically guarantee a space in the dormitories. Applications for housing must be submitted to the Dormitories Administration Office according to the time table announced each year.

To be considered for a space in the dormitories, or other Bilkent University identified housing after the dormitories are filled, students must meet all payment commitments (tuition and housing) on time. Dormitory openings will be assigned as they occur.

The dormitories are within walking distance of academic buildings and provide a good environment where friendships can be made and social needs met. Students learn the value of collective living and the need to develop self-discipline. They are ultimately responsible for their individual conduct, but a resident supervisor and assistant live in each dormitory in order to provide on-hand support to students.

Rooms are arranged for single, double, triple and quadriple occupancies. Facilities within the dormitory complexes include central heating, social and study areas, laundry and ironing rooms, kitchens and bathing facilities.

All rooms are furnished and equipped with telephones and ethernet connection. General cleaning service is provided in each dormitory, but students are responsible for keeping their rooms tidy. Lavatories and showers are located on each floor. Students are required to provide their own towels. Food may be purchased from campus grocery stores or meals may be purchased at any of the restaurants or cafeterias on campus. There are parking lots at the dormitories.

Students who bring in their own computers are able to attach their hardware directly into the university campus network from their dormitory rooms and have access to all network facilities.

Regularly scheduled activities are conducted within each dorm to round out academic programs and to familiarize students with one another and the Bilkent campus and staff. Activities include speakers, group presentations, picnics, charity fund-raisers and team sports.
