Reviews
“I take English Language Education classes in the morning and practice teaching in the afternoon. Living in Istanbul on the European side, my commute to the Ataköy campus is just fifteen minutes by metro.”
“My counselor checked every document twice before I applied to Istanbul Kultur University, so my acceptance letter came in nine days. Now I'm studying Public Relations and Advertising and interning with a local agency.”
“The Management Information Systems professors at Istanbul Kultur University actually answer emails and stay after lectures. I came from Lahore expecting to be one of hundreds; here my project supervisor knows my name and my code.”
