Student stories
What students say
“I started in the USTOMER Turkish course speaking almost nothing, and eight months later I passed my C1 exam. Living in Üsküdar, on Istanbul's Asian shore, meant practicing Turkish every day at the ferry dock and the market.”
“As a Medical Laboratory Technology student, I spend two full days a week doing bench work, pipetting, culturing, reading slides. Uskudar University also arranged my hospital practicum placement, so I never had to search alone.”
