Izmir is basically a very student friendly city regarding the opportunities and population. however for some students it would be a little bit expensive but still you can find cheaper solutions for your need to maintain your social life. the university is one of the best in Turkiye regarding the campus, location and opportunities. In the city public transportation is very easy and reachable, which makes the city better than Istanbul for a comfortable transportation. You can find anything you might need or you might like to do. the only wicked thing is expensiveness but currently the situation is almost the same throughout the country, so izmir is worth living as a student both for the city itself and also the high quality of education. i never regretted being in izmir and studying in ege university. there’s much to fix in both izmir and ege uni but when considering the other choices in Turkiye i guess ege uni is one of the best.
