Most students prefer to stay on-campus especially during first couple years of their studies in North Cyprus. The benefits of staying on-campus goes beyond safety and easy access to lecture halls that are only minutes walk away; residence halls provide the perfect opportunity to meet friends from over sixty different cultures all around the world, easy access to many restaurants across the campus, some of which are open till early hours of the morning, and indoor and outdoor sport facilities, which are present in most of the North Cyprus universities. Residents can also conveniently participate in the activities of one or more of the many student clubs, have easy access to the library facilities of just have fun at the student centers. Travel will also be one less thing to worry about with regular shuttle services that are available in all Cyprus universities.
Despite all the advantages, some students wish to stay off-campus. For those who prefer to stay out of campus, many private dorms and rental flats are available in all major cities such as Nicosia, Famagusta, Kyrenia and Morphou. Prices for rental flats and private dorms vary greatly depending on location and luxury of the place; however, overall, accomodation is quite affordable in North Cyprus.
