Dormitory and Accommodation Facilities

Hello, everyone. I'm Sevim AYHAN, the Deputy Head of the Student Affairs Department at Balıkesir University. I have been working in the university's student affairs unit for about 30 years. If I briefly provide information about our university's dormitory facilities, we have two campuses in our city: the Central Campus and the Çağış Campus. The Central Campus houses the Necatibey Faculty of Education and the district polyclinic of our university hospital. All other faculties and vocational schools outside our districts are located at the Çağış Campus. At Çağış Campus, there are two student dormitories owned by the Credit and Dormitories Institution (KYK). We have a male student dormitory with a capacity of 1480 students and a female student dormitory with a capacity of 2150 students located in the center of Balıkesir. Our newly constructed building on campus will be available to our students for the first time in the 2023-2024 academic year. According to the joint rights agreement between the private student dormitory and our university, priority is given to the children of martyrs and veterans, students affected by earthquakes, and students in need, who are provided with free accommodation within a certain quota every year. Additionally, the private student dormitory offers accommodation for students participating in the Erasmus program or coming from partner universities abroad. In Balıkesir city center, we have a female student dormitory near the Necatibey Faculty of Education, and on the way to the campus, we have a male student dormitory in the Çayırhisar area. For the safety of our students, they need to enter the dormitory by 11:00 PM. It is prohibited to engage in any fights, engage in political activities, or to keep alcoholic beverages in the dormitory. Considering the benefits of living in the dormitory for your university life, it will not only be economically advantageous for both you and your family but also highly beneficial for socialization. Transportation to the dormitories is provided by the Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality's public transportation vehicles, as our campus is located 17 kilometers away from Balıkesir city center. I wish the students who will take the university entrance exam success. We look forward to welcoming you to Balıkesir University.
