I came as a transfer student to communication design in Ozyegin and I have many things to say. First of all, it is not a surprise when you find your entire lesson being held in Turkish because the rest of the students can’t speak English well, most of the staff also barely speak English, and since the Turkish students don’t like to communicate with the internationals, it gets frustrating quick. Also, there are rules that are applied to the curriculum of courses you are required to take that have nothing to do with your major and also determine whether you can do internships and/or graduate. The student services barely care about your concerns and communicate with them is also difficult for example, if you try calling, they’ll hang up if it’s in English.
Although this school may have a strong curriculum for my major, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone as there are much better English taught universities in Istanbul.
