Great academic staff with a strong sense of freedom and democracy. The campus is in a central location and students feel like they are living in the history with its 19th-century halls.
Quality education by the Bosphorus

It was quite enjoyable overall. The university is well-located and offers many opportunities to socialise. I think that, academically, my expectations were also fulfilled.
