This study empirically explores the choices made by International students regarding their accommodation in the city of Famagusta, Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. The increasing influx of International students into Famagusta, Turkish Republic of North Cyprus has a significant impact on the house rent prices and the construction of more dormitories and apartment in the city of Famagusta. The analysis reveals that most of the International students prefer accommodations that are affordable, well furnished, having AC provision and a WIFI connection.
