Frequently Asked Questions

If you specify the student number of the person you wish to be your room mate in your online application form, which you will complete via SIS, we will do our best to meet your request based on our available capacity and the order of priority. Please note that the person you wish to be your room mate must also identify you as his/her preferred room mate, and the order of your room preferences must be the same. Room mate requests are met only when all of the requesters are assigned to the same room type. Depending on the room type, the number of room mates to be requested may vary. (For instance, in a case where three friends wish to stay together in a 3-person room, each of these friends must specify each other as their preferred room mates, and also must satisfy the other requirements listed above in order to be eligible to stay together.)

As specified in the 2019 OSYS Higher Education Programs and Quotas Guide, if you are admitted to Özyeğin University with full tuition waiver by listing OzU among your top six choices, and ranking among the top 1,000 students in Turkey in the score type of the program in which you are placed, you are granted free on-campus housing in a Double Suit for single occupancy with bathroom (in Dorm 4-5). If you rank between the top 1,001 and 5,000 students, your housing scholarship will provide exemption from the lowest room rate. In other words, you will be granted free on-campus housing in a Triple room with shared bath (in Dorm 1-3). Students may also stay in a different type of room by paying the difference between the housing fees of the room their scholarships grants and the room they prefer.
