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.
