Student stories

What students say

After a year of Turkish prep, I joined the Child Development program at Istanbul Topkapi University. My advisor checked my translated transcripts twice before submission, which saved me from resubmitting anything at the migration office.

The computer labs at Topkapi stay open until late, so I practice hardware assembly after classes. Living on the European side of Istanbul, my commute to campus is just two metro stops.
