Find the Right Health Insurance
As an international student in Turkey, you are ought to obtain a health insurance. This can be very tricky as students are often bombarded with a huge range of health insurance companies. Students often do not have the time to go through every and each health insurance terms and conditions and unfortunately end up with health insurances that do not cover them when they truly need it.

Accommodation
Some Turkish universities provide their students with on-campus accommodation which is a great facility to be used by students as it provides them access to their classes through foot. However, for the international student not residing within on-campus dormitory, finding the right dormitory for your budget as well as your preferences and lifestyle can be challenging in a country you do not know.
We at MEDU provide our students with free of charge recommendations for students and help them find the right dormitory for them. All you have to do is book your consultation with us, and we will get back to you as soon as possible to answer all your questions.
Become Familiar
We would reccommend that you arrange your arrival a few days or even a week before your first day at university. It is very important to become familiar with the city you will call home for the next few years, and it may take a few days to get used to the transportation routes, important landmarks, and important facilities such as nearest supermarket, laundry etc.
Coming a week earlier will help you ease your way into the city and slowly get familiar with spaces and your route around the city and university.
