Sakarya University cooperates with the Credit and Dormitories Institution (KYK) to ensure that students have access to safe, accessible, and affordable housing options. KYK dormitories located within and around the Esentepe Campus provide students with secure and low-cost accommodation opportunities close to the university. The fees of these dormitories are set significantly lower than those of private dormitories and apartments in the city center, thereby reducing students’ financial burdens and supporting their academic life.
In addition, Sakarya University students can benefit from scholarship and social support programs offered by the SAU Foundation (SAÜVAK) and the Department of Health, Culture, and Sports (SKS) to cover part of their accommodation expenses. All these practices are directly linked to SDG 11.1 (Ensure access for all to adequate, safe, and affordable housing). By improving students’ living conditions, the university continues to foster an inclusive and sustainable campus community.
