How to choose a university?

Info guide for making the right university choice

1

Check the city and cost of living

When choosing a city, consider not only the university's prestige but also monthly expenses for food, transport, and leisure. Istanbul and Ankara offer more opportunities, but living there is more expensive than in Izmir or Antalya.

Estimate your yearly budget
2

Choose your language of instruction wisely

Studying in Turkish is usually more affordable and provides better chances for government grants. Programs in English open doors to international companies but require a proven level of language proficiency.

Clarify the availability and types of dormitories

State dormitories (KYK) are very budget-friendly but have strict rules. Private dormitories and university-affiliated apartments offer hotel-level comfort, including fitness centers and lounge areas, but cost more.
