Student stories
What students say
“When my transcript translation was rejected, my counselor at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University re-did the notarization with me in two days. Now I'm in my second year of Pre-School Teaching and finally settled.”
“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.”
