Student stories
What students say
“As an Electronics Engineering student, I got cleanroom access in my third year to fabricate my own sensor chip. Sabanci's professors treat undergraduates like researchers; mine put my name on a conference paper.”
“Sabanci University lets you choose your major after the first year, which is how I found Computer Science and Engineering. The Tuzla campus is far from central Istanbul, but the shuttle and dorms make it work.”
