Overall, the university is OK. The campus is a huge one, people are open-minded and really nice. But you might go mad with the transportation to the campus. The only good part of the transportation would be the travel time. It only takes 15 minutes to arrive at the campus from the city centre. There’s only one bus line travels to the campus from the city centre and it is full most of the time. In the mornings, there are buses every 5 minutes but if you wake up half an hour before the class, it is impossible to attend the class punctually. I study computer engineering in ESTU and education is average. So many assignments, projects, quizzes almost every week.
All the classes are supposed to be in English but some lecturers do not speak English at all during the classes. Most them speak fluent English and deliver the lectures in English but some of the lecturers are speaking in Turkish all the time. Though, all the class materials (presentations, notes provided by lecturers etc.) are in English. Besides, abroad opportunities are amazing. There are 21 different universities across Europe to apply for Erasmus in the computer engineering department. Also, there are many other exchange programs to go to Asia and America.
The refectory is almost for free. It costs 1.25 TL which is around 0.21€ per meal. It provides breakfast and lunch. And for dinner, you can use the refectory which is located in Anadolu University. There’s a ring bus M4 which travels from ESTU to Anadolu University and it takes 10-15 minutes so it is pretty simple to travel between campuses.
