In order to enroll in one of the public universities, an international student must enter the international students exam or as it is called in Turkish (YOS) and according to the grades of this exam, high school grades, age, and quotas a student can be accepted and get his acceptance letter or not. For private universities, it is not obligatory to enter the YOS exam due to the fact that private universities work with a system that has more quotas thus they can accept students with less tense competition but, a student must prove his English speaking, reading, listening, writing abilities through an international English certificate like IELTS or TOEFL IBT or simply, join the English proficiency exam that is help in each university apart.

Most of the time, students who get on with higher education go away and establish their own lives away from the safe refuge of their families. Once the students try to stay up on their feet, the most important thing for their newly established lives becomes money and its management. The same goes for international students too as they also try to be on their own in a foreign country. For monetary situations, students can find grants and scholarships, but managing these still fell on their own shoulders. At least now there are multiple banks to help international students in their money management chores in their daily lives in a foreign country.
Libraries are still the home of knowledge in today’s world which is heavily digitalized. Even though information that can be found in libraries can easily be found on the internet, researching through google cannot provide the feeling of peace that comes from the silence in a library. Istanbul is a good option for library enthusiasts as the city is full of libraries. These libraries can be used for research, as a relaxing place to sit for some time, or as a means of being mesmerized by the history of the city. The city has many libraries that date back to previous centuries, and most of them have books and scripts that date back as far as 600 years ago. One of these libraries is the Central Library of Istanbul University. As this library holds extremely rare books dating back to the 15th century when Istanbul University was established, it is regarded as one of Turkey's most significant libraries. The library proves to be a reasonable place to find thesis and research articles.
