Student review [#9366] for Electronics and Communication Engineering
at Istanbul Technical University - ITU

First of all, ITU was founded in 1773, and the university has been always attractive for centuries. If someone wanna be an engineer, ITU would be the goal of the student. I was also interested in EECS topics, and I became a student of ITU in 2016. I was living in a little town in Turkey, then I was shocked when I see the campus, faculties, especially student life. In my first year, I studied English preperation class for a year, so I had more free time for activities. There are more than 100 student associations in ITU, now I am a member of Electrical Engineering Students’ European Association. I am aware of the importance of personal improvement, and I have done organizational positions, and also I took many soft skills trainings. Why I wrote these is, every engineer can improve theirselves as technical, but the point is soft skills. There are many opportunities in ITU that students benefit.
About academics, every faculty has more professors than other universities in Turkey, but I generally cannot be satisfied about quality of classes. Many academics are good at topic, but they don’t know how to deliver the information. As I can see, it is one of the general problems in Turkey. But we have the freedom for professor and class selection, so generally we take courses that we would like to study.
To sum up, I take many advantages of being a part of ITU, and also it is so easy to expand business network if you are enterprising. I am proud to be a student of Istanbul Technical University.
