Student Life in Lefke and Kalkanlı: Transport and Health Contacts

Below are verified contact details for a student at the European University of Lefke or METU Northern Cyprus Campus: universities, transport, health, and municipal services. Lefke and Kalkanlı are combined into one guide because they are two geographically close small campus towns.
