METU has three types of campus dormitories: state, semi-private and private. All dormitories furnish bedding. Meals are not included in the fee but dormitories have canteens where students can eat breakfast and other meals for a nominal cost. All dormitories are located in the same general area near the campus shopping center with banks, a post office and near the campus medical center and sports facilities. The shopping center has a variety of eateries open daily including weekends and holidays. Municipality buses and private minibuses (dolmuş) run regularly to and from main parts of the city daily including weekends and holidays from early morning until midnight .
New students may apply for a place in the dormitories as soon as they have completed their registration. There is occasionally a waiting list for dormitory space; however a certain number of dormitory places are set aside for international students. Economic status and academic success of the students are taken into consideration as criteria for placement to dormitories. Applications will be evaluated and the results will be announced in the Directorate of Dormitories (Dormitory 2)
Students and their families may temporarily (in the registration period) stay in the dormitories with a fee of 10.00 YTL/day (approximately $ 7/day).
