Done with my first Degree and just decided to do my another degree course.
Turkey has always been on my mind and I wouldn't mind studying there.
Do anyone have any idea on their students visa requirements and when I can apply or even schools that are a bit cheaper, how to go about their scholarships.
Please any personal experience will really be appreciated.
Contributions please.

The cheaper universities are the state institutions (e.g Bogazci, METU, Sabanci, Mamara, ITU, Fatihi universities). These state universities are highly ranked and funded by the Government. The little challenge is most of the programs are conducted with Turkish Language while some of the universities have good numbers of English medium programs (METU, Bogazci etc). To gain admission into the state universities as a foreign applicant, you will need to conform and pass the eligible scores to some exams such as SAT, TOEFL (for undergraduate) and GRE/GMAT, ALES (for graduate applicants). The state universities fees ranges between 1000-1500usd per semester and with minimal accommodation fees depending on region. The Living expenses in Turkey is comparably low to most European and American countries but quite higher than African countries.

Turkey is an industrialized nation with bunch of industries located around her cities...so is termed a good business zone. Jobs may be quite scarce for individual with lack of Turkish language or culturally different compared to those that are competent. Also, minimum wages are quite low compared to European and American countries but by far higher than African countries. Typical illustration; A laborer (unskilled) earns 50-60TL per day, skilled craftmen (80-90 TL), Police 1300-1400TL and teacher 2000-5000Tl depends on positions and qualifications although this may commensurate with the living expenses.

They ve got rich and Mediterranean style of cuisines, food and vegetables and one of the most popular most-eat is Kebab and Ayran...although most claimed Islam as their religion with quite large number of historical mosques but their living style may not reflect this claim. The country immigration law is simple and strict, most have traveled to Turkey in search of green pasture but the pasture sometimes are not always green and they have ended up in long jail house. Without Turkish tax number or legal residence permit, most transactions will be difficult.

The visa procedure for the Turkish Universities can be found on Any Turkish embassy website close to the applicant locations and the procedure are well written for easy understanding. To apply to the Universities, it will do you good to visit the university website for deadlines, application requirements and procedure and you can inquire about the scholarship from the university international center or office related to this.

Am quite sure this will help and wish you luck in your quest!!!!

Wow that's a "good" info and I think that summons it all.
If I may ask do you have an agency maybe I can apply through you?
Or any of your contacts to get in touch.

ALL NA WASH JOR

It still really bothers me why anyone would want to go and study in a non-english speaking country with a different culture. WHere it would be difficult to communicate with cab drivers, tomato sellers pretty much everybody without a sophisticated education. Even India that claims to be an english speaking country is plagued with that nasty sounding language called Hindi (especially in the north), i can only imagine what a country that doesn't speak english at all would be like.Even the so called teachers in this turkish universities would not be fluent in English and would speak it breaking all the laws of syntax and grammar till it becomes totally meaningless. Nigerians would just pack their things and just go anywhere. If you must travel, go to Ghana, south africa.

Plus the poster doesn't even know what to study, why are you gambling with your destiny,SMH
