Student stories

What students say

I picked Bilkent University for Chemistry because of the research labs, and I was not disappointed, I joined a professor's polymer group in my second year. Ankara winters are cold, but the campus dorms are five minutes from my lab.

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.
