Saif RahmanAccommodation: Finding accommodation in Istanbul required some research. I considered both university dormitories and private housing options. University dorms were affordable but had limited availability, so I opted for a shared apartment in Kadiköy, which provided more independence and flexibility. To be honest I would not recommend to stay in the campus dormitories as nearly all Erasmus students live in more busy areas such as Besiktas & Kadiköy.
Transportation: Public transportation was affordable with the Istanbulkart. The city had excellent infrastructure and mobile SIM cards were easy to obtain from providers like Turkcell or Vodafone.
Activities and more: Yeditepe University had an active student life with various clubs and events. The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) organized excursions and the city itself offered endless cultural and social activities. However, you can also join ESN activities from different universities and meet new friends. Keep in mind that Istanbul has a lot to offer.
