Hello,

Studying in a foreign country is an exciting prospect, but at times students do not have enough information to make an informed decision. We invite you to share your own experiences about studying abroad in Turkey.

What are the advantages of studying in Turkey? What are the disadvantages?

Are there proper housing options for students, or do most students have to find their own accommodation?

Are living costs for students in Turkey expensive? What is an average budget for a student per month, including rent, groceries, and social activities?

Is it easy to form a social circle in Turkey? What are some of the preferred social activities?

Are there international student societies or community engagement programs for international students?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Its really exciting studying in Turkey for international students. Living costs are considerably normal and social interaction is somewhat conservative. In urban cities like Istanbul it is very easy to interact because they’re thousands of international students around.
Some schools do offer accommodation for international students but it’s rare. Housing altogether is not expensive and it is really easy to get accommodation in Istanbul if you have a resident permit because they’re thousands of real estate agents around. It’s a good place though:)

Hello everyone,

Studying in Turkey is one of the most beautiful experience in my life. I have learned alot . Not just a language. New Turkish universities are improving rapidly. Here everything is somehow expensive. However, The environment here is perfect for learning.
Finally, I advice every student to come to Turkey for studying.

Best wishes,
Majed
