In general I am satisfied with the Istanbul University. I like the relationship between students and the professors. They are very friendly to each other and the professors always trying to help to the students. What I did not like and what is different in my university is that some professors are really easy-going concerning the start and the end of lessons. Before coming to Istanbul, I thought that the university is less organized. But I have to say that I could always solve my problems easily. Also the atmosphere at the university is really relaxed and comfortable. As I have a Turkish origin, I knew the cultural differences. But despite that I experienced some surprising situations. All in all I can say that I am very happy to be here and would recommend others to study at Istanbul University. Slovakia School of Business is good choice for Erasmus students. On my own, education at this school is at high level. And what is the best? The best is friendly atmosphere for foreign students. It is very easy to find new friends here, not only students, but professors also. Faculty offers you a lot of things for your free time. Also you can find a lot of good foods in cafeteria and canteen, and I have to mention a lunch for 1 Turkish Lira. Furthermore, there are also people from ESN Existanbul who take care for Erasmus students. They do really good work with it. They organized many trips, meetings and other events. So, I am sure you won’t be bored till your exchange. The Erasmus experience in Istanbul and more particularly in Business School is really interesting for several reasons: First, Istanbul is a very specific city, between Europe and Asia; I learn a lot about the Turkish culture. There is a lot of things to visit, to see and to do. Istanbul is very dynamic, young and cosmopolitic. So I really like the atmosphere of this city. And also people are nice here. Second, there is lot of Erasmus student here, in Istanbul University. I can discover, of course, Turkish people, but also rather European people. And learn about language, other cultures…it is very interesting. Third, the Erasmus program is well organized; coordinator and some professors take care of Erasmus students and help us. There is also ESN association who organize some trip to discover the country. Delphine Villert Maxime Nadine Hochschule für Nachhdtije Entwidelung Eberswalde Maiej Maderic My name is Maxime Nadine Gottschalk and I am studying Business Administration at Istanbul University. I am totally convinced that this was the right choice. The atmosphere at the faculty is just amazing and the professor and students are really open minded. Furthermore, there this ENS Existanbul network who do a lot for us and helped us a lot especially during the first days. The level of education is also very good and similar to the German level. I will recommend doing such an Exchange term at Istanbul University to my fellow students at my home university and I really hope that there will be more exchanges between Istanbul University and HNE Eberswalde. I would always do it again. My only recommendation concerning Erasmus students might be to assist the foreign students with getting their residence permit. I spend great moment here in Istanbul University. Sightseeing, parties, Turkish culture…and of course classes here in the School of Business in Avcılar. It is easy to get lost in Istanbul because the city is so huge, even for me who is from Paris. But you always find friendly people to help you. Going to Istanbul is also a good occasion to travel all over the country. There are organized trips with ESN but you can also take your backpack and go on your own. Travelling is cheap. However, be careful with your money; especially for girls because there are so many shops. Now I have 3 months to leave and believe me, time goes quickly in Istanbul. So a final advice for those who will come to the University of Istanbul is to enjoy the maximum of Istanbul.

Saico Umoro Embalo - Ginea I came from Maldives, a country which has an educational system with English as the medium of instruction. As a result of this connection with the English language, it was natural for me to expect Istanbul University and the city to be an environment familiar with this language. As a metropolitan city, Istanbul is full of life with the monetary and travel privileges. As a scholarship student, you can experience this touristic and cultural city. Turkey has many similarities with the culture of my country. This helps in understanding, communicating and socializing with classmates and others around. In short, an academic experience in Istanbul University in Istanbul will be a life long unforgettable experience. If you have the opportunity for an academic life at Istanbul University, go for it with open arms! Sinan Abdul Gayyom - Maldiv I’m from China. Istanbul has a culture that same as Pekin.
