Story of my studies: I am not a dictionary
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I loved studying at Boğaziçi. It was a pleasure to be in, in a country like Turkey. However, my department (TransInt) lacked many things that international translation studies departments had. E.g. translation technologies formation and practical translation courses.
