3. Budget Friendly
Especially now, Turkey is cheaper than ever for
European students since 1 Euro equals 10+ Turkish Liras.
You can basically have everything you are going to have
in a European country and everything will cost way
less. You can have a full meal with only 2-3 euros for
instance. Also, there are multiple opportunities to pay
less if you are a student in Turkey. What else can one
ask for?

1. Delicious Food
Turkish cuisine is probably the first thing that comes
to mind when you think about Turkey, and, one
of the best things too! There are so many different
cuisines here: Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Balkan,
etc. It is amazing you can try all of these different
cuisines within one country. While being famous for
its delicious kebab, you can find many famous foods
that are vegetarian/vegan such as sarma (rice rolled 4. Rich History

minorities with different backgrounds from both
East and West. Having these different cultures living
together for years has affected this country’s culture a
lot. You can experience the sentimentality of the East
in Turkey and yet, you can sense the Western rules and
the secular mindset overall. You can see all types of
different-looking people in the streets and you will see
this is a very natural thing in Turkey.

5. Turkish Hospitality
Turkish people really are quite warm and kind towards
foreigners. They love to talk to foreigners and try to
make them feel at home. You can ask for help from
anyone whether you know them or not, and they will
try their best to solve your problem at the moment.
It is especially fortunate to be a university student in
Turkey because in a lot of the universities, the language
of education is English and that can make the whole
adaptation process way easier.
