What students say
“The merit scholarship covered half my Economics tuition, and the financial aid office reassessed it when my situation at home changed. That flexibility mattered more to me than any ranking.”
“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.”
