Common Turkey Experience

I generally like being on a big campus. Students can spend a lot of time by themselves. If you aim to improve your education, you should be prepared for professors who use PDF materials. The campus is so vast, and most of the time, you are walking, which is good for your mental and physical health. Weather conditions are unstable. That's why you should be ready for rain and sun on the same day. It gives this city, and therefore this university, a different flavor. You must use your free time for yourself. Most of the exams are completed beforehand. Teachers most likely will use PDFs of past exams. You should make friends to access past exam questions. Teachers and the system don't care about it. Overall, I am dissatisfied because of PDF-reliant teachers and the unstable weather. I could add some more negative aspects, but you can keep up with them.
