From Germany to Koç University – My LLM experience in Istanbul
So I took part in an LLM event in Munich and there I met Esra and Koç University. I fell in love with the campus and everything was so beautiful! I have never been to Turkey before, and especially not to Istanbul.
I wanted to experience something very different from what we see here on holidays when we go to Spain or Italy. I decided to give it a try and apply to Koç University and the whole application process was really smooth. It was super quick and really good guided with all the emails, webinars, and tutorial videos. I felt their support throughout the whole application process.

So about university in specific, as I said I love the campus, unfortunately, when I started studying the second semester the whole Covid situation occurred. We had a lot of online classes but actually, it was really fun and smooth so I stayed in Turkey and enjoyed it as well. I didn’t experience any problems with the online classes, Koç University is really flexible when it comes to this so I felt that this was not a problem.

As for social life in Istanbul, it is hard to say just one real good highlight because there were a lot of highlights. Every time you go out in this city you experience something new and meet new people. I have to say that friends that I made at koç university, I’m still in touch with them and every time when I come back to turkey I meet up with them and we are talking about what’s going on right now because most of them are living in Turkey and this is a really big highlight that I met friends that I’m still in touch now. We did really nice things with them, went out in the evening, or during the day, enjoyed the study, there are so many highlights… I can’t say what is the best because the city is crazy, you can do everything you can imagine!
