A great experience

I've completed my bachelor's degree in IIUI , and I think it was a great experience for me. Especially professors are really nice a d professional in class. They do their best to give the most relevant information to the students. The department stuff and teachers are kind and friendly. They don't have class issues, they are really helpful. I'd really a great experience with my department which is language and literature. There always had an event such as presentations about great writers , poem sessions which were my favourite. The only issue I have experienced there was with the administration office because documents take really long time and need a strong patient. But rest was good. İf you get chance to study there I'd suggest you to take that chance. Best of luck.
