Upon the earthquake that took place in Kahramanmaraş and impacted several cities, various support programs have been initiated for our students and citizens residing in the region and affected by the earthquake. Our dormitories have been prepared and are ready for our students who stay at the METU dormitories and reside in the areas affected by the earthquake in case they want to return to the campus earlier than the previously scheduled dates.
