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.”

Chinedu OkaforEconomics · Nigeria

“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.”
