If you are talking about Türkiye Scholarships then the monthly stipend you will get as a PhD student will be 1000 TL ... which is NOT enough to maintain a family in Istanbul ...

I want to know the cheapest area for family accommodation in Istanbul (200-300 TL per month), as I have to manage particularly at the beginning of my stay with 1000 TL per month, after few months i may receive some additional funding.

do you think 1000 TL is enough to live a very modest life but with a small family with 1 kid only

me to going İstanbul university firstly which section of istanbul university because the university has more than one campus and i suggest you if you can stay in the goverments dormitory it will be best for you until you get used to İstanbul

You can stay in esenyurt yiu can find cheap houses in there and if you want to rent cheap house you should be away from connection ways like  E5 the metrobus way

I got admission in Avcilar Campus which is in European side of city. As I am moving with my family of 3 and have to manage within budget of 1000 TL per month. I am searching for a house ranging 200 TL to 300 TL per month.
