Student stories
What students say
“The 50 percent scholarship discount made Economics here affordable for my family. Living on the European side of Istanbul, I commute twenty minutes to campus and my advisor still checks my course selection every term.”
“I chose Visual Communication Design because the Halkalı campus studios stay open late. Coming from Tehran, I worried about adapting, but my professors at Sabahattin Zaim reviewed my portfolio one-on-one before the first semester started.”
