The term of the accommodation agreement entered into with each student that is to stay in a Residorm dormitory is 10 months. The annual accommodation fee paid under this agreement covers this 10 months’ period.

The term of the agreement starts on September 15, and 10 months later, in other words on July 15. If the final and mark-up exams are not finished by the end of the term, the term of the agreement will be extended accordingly and no additional amount will be charged for such extension.

The students are required to vacate their rooms and complete their checkout procedures within 2 days following the expiration of their agreements. If a student does not complete the checkout procedures and leave their belongings in his/her room, this will be interpreted as his/her intention to stay in summer, and the relevant fee will be charged.

All accommodation agreements have the same term starting on the same date. Considering the reasons given in the student’s application for early check in as well as the availability of the relevant dormitory, the management may allow such student to stay for a period up to 7 days before the starting date of the accommodation.

Today Residorm is one of the biggest dormitory chain in Turkey, operating in three cities for the time being.

We have a corporate background, and we provide accommodation services to students together with our headquarters in Istanbul.

We take into consideration the sensitivities of the students and their parents, and spend our best efforts to create the most suitable accommodation model, in terms of comfort, health, security, price and socializing.

The Residorm buildings and student rooms were designed and built taking into consideration the students’ needs, security and safety.

The dormitory buildings are located in the campuses and therefore they are protected by not only the campus security personnel, but also the security cameras operating in the dormitory building both working on a 24/7 basis. Each dormitory operates as a part of the university where it’s located, and it’s supervised by this university.

Each dormitory has a personnel consisting of around 40 people, and they work on a 24/7 basis to ensure our students’ comfort, meet their needs and solve their problems.

The privileges and discounts provided to the students increase by the number of the years that they stay in the dormitories.

The Residorm dormitories do not only serve as a dormitory, but they also provide job opportunities to students, organize trainings, seminars, sports and arts activities and tournaments and support the personal and social development of the students.

In the academic year of 2015-2016, we will provide an accommodation and meal aid for 90 students for the first time to support their university studies.

Residorm is not a student dorm only, but a new world appreciating people, listening to the students and trying to find solutions to their problems, and spending efforts to support the students’ development in different areas.

We are operating as official dormitories of certain universities, and accordingly we have certain rules and principles. However these rules do not aim at restricting the students, but ensuring their harmony, respect to each other, security and comfort.

Any student may stay out, provided that he or she fills in an application form for that purpose at Livinsoft. We will not contact the parents unless the student stays outside the dormitory very frequently or we hear alarming rumors.

You can host any friends in our lobby area.

If there are available rooms in the dormitory, your visitors may stay, provided that they make a reservation at least 2 days in advance and pay the accommodation fee upfront.

We can’t allow you to invite your guests to your room for security reasons. You should also keep in mind that the majority of the rooms are shared by three people, and your roommates and those living in the neighboring rooms may be disturbed.

If there is a damage in a room and we cannot determine the person causing that damage, all roommates will be equally liable for such damage. Any damage to the common areas of the building will be compensated by the student responsible for such damage, as determined by the dormitory personnel or the surveillance camera recordings (and this compensation will be deducted from the security deposit to be paid when checking in).

You will also be responsible for any damage that may be caused by your guests.

Your security and safety are very important for us. Therefore all Residorm dormitories were built and equipped in accordance with the most recent earthquake and fire regulations. The security of our dormitories are maintained by not only the security personnel of the campus, but also our security cameras working on a 24/7 basis. Turnstile gates are necessary to enter any Residorm building and the floors where the rooms are located.

We are very sensitive about electricity and fire. There are fire alarms on the room doors and the mattresses are nonflammable. All areas are equipped with fire detection, alarm and extinguisher systems. There are backups of the fire pumps. In emergency cases, the escape corridors are illuminated by emergency lights. The electricity sockets in the students’ rooms are protected by leakage current fuses. There is a scissor system on each window to prevent it from opening fully.

Each student has a daily limit. We use a fair quota system to prevent the students using the internet excessively from breaching the other students’ right to use the internet. If a student exceeds the daily limit, we don’t apply a penalty, but decrease the connection speed. Each student can connect to internet by no more than two separate devices at a time.

 You can call your friends in the other rooms of your dormitory by dialing their room numbers.

You can’t use these phones to make external calls, but you can receive calls from external numbers. Those wishing to call you at the telephone in your room are required to dial your dormitory’s number and then enter the code specific for your dormitory and your room number.

This code is 12 for Balıkesir, 11 for Kırıkkale and 10 for Muğla. (For example, if you are to call the room number 4013 in the Residorm Balıkesir dormitory, you should dial 124013.)
