Hacettepe University - HU (reviews)

Hacettepe University is one of the top 5 universities in Turkey. It has huge campus and different subjects to study. I was studying international relations but ı had opportunity to take some courses from Bussiness and Economics departments. Also the best things in the university there are student communities which organize seminars, conferences and student workshops with companies, public institutions, international and non governmental organizations. It has a really good opportunity to gain experience while you are studying and create a network. Also in the university there are many free or almost free options because it is state university. There are 3 times food in a day and 4 types of meal which costs is less than 1 euro for all students. Free gym centers and sport halls. There is an olympic pool which cost 20 euro for one academic year.

The university is a welcoming zone for students all over the world. The school values it’s students by teaching and guiding them in the best possible way. Hacettepe university was the place whereby I felt like I was home even though my home was 6100km away. It was the place that fostered knowledge and provided insightful ideals on the path that I needed to take for my future.

Hacettepe is one of the oldest universities in Turkey. First of all, the academic staff is really well-chosen, at least in my own department. When you take courses, you can understand the quality of education given here. Secondly, the Beytepe campus is a campus that everyone likes. When you are on the campus you can be in touch with nature but unfortunately, it is far from the city center. Also the university has different projects for students. Additionally, there are different student clubs you can join. Briefly, Hacettepe University is one of the few schools that meets your expectation in Turkey standards.

Hacettepe university is one of the oldest and its campus is one of the biggest in Turkey. Medicine and social science faculties offer high-quality programs. In years campus became a neighbour to the city as the city expanded. University is Ankara’s essential part. There are many projects led by the university for city improvement. The campus provides many opportunities to students. Medicine faculty is the most special program and high-quality students prefer Hacettepe for medicine faculty.

Perfect campus life despite living far from city center
Excellent academic staff
Promotes being an exchange student
Offers various social club activities
Has a reputable name in/out of country helps you to find a job

As an institution, it’s nice enough. As a well-recognised university in Turkey, it has bilateral agreements that lets you benefit from student exchange schemes, such as Erasmus, with reputable schools around Europe.

The campus is outside the city, so if you’re living within city centre limits, you’re looking at at least 1h30m of commute daily. The good thing about that is, you will be prepared for a job in Istanbul!

The level and depth of education is pretty decent for Turkey. This isn’t just my opinion, I used to ask around and the consensus leaned towards good.

All in all, not a bad school.

Hacettepe University was founded in 1967. It is one of the best universities of Turkey. Hacettepe University has two main campuses.

In a nutshell, it is a big ocean that you can grab a lot opportunities unless you fear
