Fatih Üniversitesi

Because the rooms in the dormitories that are provided by the university are about 70 km from the center of Istanbul. I chose to live in the center as this was an experience I wanted to have to get to know this city.

Food is simply cheaper here. At home I used my phone more than in Istanbul. And travelling, especially the accomodation can be very cheap sometimes.

I didn't know that Fatih University was that far from the city center. That could have influenced my choice of university, but my experiences with the university proved to be interesting.

It's an interesting university in the sense that this university is considered one of the more religious universities in Istanbul. As i meet many westernized people in the centre where I'm living, it's interesting for me to hear another side of the story from the students and teachers in Fatih University. The people from the international programs office are very friendly and helpful, as are most people in this university. I wouldn't recommend this university to people who have difficulties with adapting themselves to totally different environments, especially if you're from a non-muslim country. If you're interested in these differences than you will find this an enriching place.
