What our students said about Istanbul
Hospitable, friendly city, lots of stores and entertainment catering to all tastes and wallets. Fairly safe place - there is an active life until 1 am in the tourist part of the center, some stores are open, a lot of police, but no disturbances. Historical monuments, museums, parks, a city with a very convenient public transportation system. Fresh air, sunny weather and friendly people create an unforgettable atmosphere of joy and pleasure. Depending on the time of year, it is possible to visit the nearby islands to enjoy a beach holiday.
This city is very impressive! It is buzzing day and night. The cleanliness is as good as I have ever experienced in any big city. You can experience whatever your heart desires. The various services are almost without exception impressively good and of great creativity. The cuisine is also very appealing.
Istanbul is a very busy city all year round. Both locals and tourists abound in the city. Plenty of stores and restaurants to indulge in and immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife. Unfortunately, due to inflation, Turkey in general has become quite a bit more expensive over the past year.
Great, exhausting, exciting, colourful - Istanbul is something you have to walk around or use public transport. Taksim is the area to go for shopping, eating out, amusement, contemporary witnesses can be found everywhere in the city. Multicultural and open-minded.
Istanbul is a fascinating city with a mix of tradition and modernity. There are many sights, great walking districts, lots of helpful people and a great public transport network. Unfortunately, the euro has also arrived here and many things have become expensive.
Istanbul is the best city on earth. It is hip, free and has all kinds of people. Istanbul is an open air museum, wherever you go you will see beautiful and interesting things. Every district is different, you can never get enough of Istanbul.
I liked the ferry rides best, and apart from that I walked around a lot and found Orhan Pamuk's museum very imaginative. As a solo traveller, I had no problems at all going out to eat. However, I can't say anything about the nightlife...
I think it is a great city. The local people are all friendly, kind, and love to chat. I felt the public safety was good, except late at night or in deserted areas, and I had no issues living here.
Istanbul is my favourite city in the whole world! I am nowhere as happy as in İstanbul! The warmest people I know live in Istanbul and the city will always have a place in my heart!!!
Istanbul is a very interesting city. However, it is not really recommended for people with heart conditions because it is constantly going up and down, which is very exhausting.

Classes always start on time and that is how they end. All class hours are used liberally enough to let you learn the Turkish language, with playful alternations so it doesn't get boring. Seyma my teacher is a rock. I recommend everyone to go here to Istanbul.
