Koç University offers a very safe and enclosed campus environment, which I really appreciated. The library is open 24/7 during finals and is the best place to focus. The architecture is beautiful, and the technology used in classrooms is very advanced. I also enjoyed the diversity; I met friends from all over the world. It’s definitely the most prestigious private university in the country for a reason.

The campus life is very active with many festivals and events. I loved the Spring Festival! The facilities are 5-star, especially the gym and the dining hall options. My only warning to new students is that the area around the campus (Sarıyer/Zekeriyaköy) is quite expensive. Make sure to manage your budget well. Overall, the international office was very helpful with my visa and residence permit process.

I came here for my Graduate studies, and the research funding and facilities are superior to many European universities. The professors are very well-connected internationally. English is spoken by everyone on campus, so there was no language barrier in my studies. The Health Sciences campus in Topkapı is also very impressive and high-tech. I highly recommend Koç for anyone looking into STEM or Social Sciences.
