Istanbul is a city of attraction that houses millions of people every day. While it is a great place to visit for a brief period, the prestigious universities in Istanbul make the city a good choice for educational purposes. One of the reasons for the crowded population of Istanbul is the percentage of students in Istanbul. There are many old universities in Istanbul dating back to the Medieval Period or the Age of Enlightenment. While the majority of the universities in Istanbul are rather new, they are thriving quickly. There are 57 universities in total, and these universities generally focus on one particular branch of science. For example, one public university in Istanbul has excelled in fine arts.
The process of coming to a foreign country for higher education may be tiring and hard, but the real adventure starts upon the arrival in the new country. There are certain things for all international students need to do for their study period to go as smoothly as possible. Some of these steps in the process of settling in the new country require working closely with the state, but all of these requirements for international students can be fulfilled quickly. One of the most important things to do once the students come to the Republic of Turkey is to get a residence permit. This documentation can be prepared only after the registration in the university of study.
Istanbul is turkey’s cultural, economic, and historical hub, situated between asia and europe.
