Personal comments
The university has a guesthouse in which we (the exchange students) were living at first. It is very clean and comfortable, but many of us wanted to live with Turkish students for the cultural experience so we arranged our own housing.

Personal recommendation
The courses I chose before going turned out to be either taught in Turkish or not taught at all. Be prepared for some time spent on changing courses and general beaurocracy

Final comments
The courses are generally not very difficult or time consuming for students with very good English knowledge, so there is plenty of time to travel. I definitely recomend traveling off the beaten path, i.e. NOT just go to the touristic beaches. Learning the language also makes life in Turkey much more interesting.
