Student stories
What students say
“My scholarship covered half the Business Administration tuition, and the admissions counselor followed up until my documents were attested correctly, twice, because my first apostille was wrong. That patience is why my brother applied this year too.”
“Studying Architecture in English at Altinbas meant I could start right away without a prep year. The Mahmutbey campus is modern, and Istanbul itself becomes your textbook, half our assignments involve documenting the city's buildings.”
