Housing and Accommodation Directorate

Sixty percent of Koç University students reside in our dormitory buildings, located at Rumelifeneri Campus and West Campus. The reasons for our students’ preference of dormitories are proximity of dormitory buildings to faculties, amenities for studying, availability of communal areas for social activities, and security. Life in dormitories of Koç University, which are going to be your home henceforth, are designed to support academic lives and social activities of our students.

We are working to ensure a comfortable and pleasant life for KU students. Therefore, we prefer to say ‘welcome to your home’ instead of saying ‘welcome to our dormitories’!
