Education standard:
The most important reason why a student should come to Turkey is its quality of education. Türkiye has a great education system that maintains a minimum standard compatible with the European education standard. Some world-class public and private universities in Turkiye rank in the top five hundred in the world. Middle East Technical University, Çankaya University, Koç University, and Sabancı University are some of the top-ranking universities not only in Türkiye but in the whole World. Apart from those, Marmara University, Istanbul University, Kocaeli University, Sakarya University, and Atatürk University are among the top national public universities that offer excellent education. Education in Turkiye is more focused on practical education than theoretical education. All the universities have sufficient modern laboratory facilities of excellent quality. Students of certain faculties such as Technology Faculty are even required to do mandatory internships before finishing their studies. There are a lot of research options as well. Students also benefit from exchange programs like the Erasmus and Farabi exchange program where they can study for one or two semesters in a European university or another university in another region of Türkiye.
Country status:
Türkiye is a country situated at the crossroads of the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East, and eastern Mediterranean. This country connects Asia to Europe via the city of Istanbul. Most of the city of Istanbul is situated on the European side. The Bosphorus straight is the only waterway that divides the continents. According to World Bank, Türkiye is an upper middle-income country and one of the seven emerging countries. Thus, life in Türkiye is not much different from that of any other European country.

Campus Life:
Turkish University campuses are very large, often situated outside the city, in a serene natural environment. The campuses are neat and clean. They are very safe as well. There is absolutely no politics whatsoever among students in Turkish universities. Turkish university students have government and private dormitories. These dorms have the service equivalent of a three-star hotel with facilities like library, study room, canteen, gymnasium, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, and entertainment saloon. They have standardized and centralized catering services in the dormitory and university canteen. Food in the university canteen costs barely anything. And two third of the frees of a private dormitory are paid for by the government via subsidies.
