Student stories

What students say

Studio culture at Bilkent is intense, we pulled all-nighters before every jury, but the architecture professors treat your project like it matters. Getting my first model critiqued by a practicing architect changed how I design.

Archaeology here means real fieldwork, my department sent us to an excavation in central Anatolia after first year. The comprehensive scholarship covered my tuition completely, which is honestly the only way my family could have afforded studying abroad.
