From my research, there are highly rated universities in Turkey and their school fees seem affordable. I doubt whether their student visa application process is laborious. Please if you are a student studying in Turkey or planning to study in Turkey, we need your views on the general application processes and the student life over there as I am applying for Feb 2012 start date. Lets have your say, please!

Alright guy pls paste link for the school I am very interested to do so

I have already apply for my master in Istanbul Aydin University and am awaiting my admission letter, as soon as i get it i will begin the visa process because i intend to travel early so i can settle fast and look for business opportunities in turkey. i have a registered company in Nigeria and i will be doing Import and Export Business.

i don't know but you can confirm from the school and there other high ranked and affordable university in Turkey just do your research. but any time you make it down to turkey don't forget you have a friend there.

my letter is out now and i pray that the strike should not be too long as i have all supporting document ready for my visa.

i cant wait to leave this country

Hmmm I smell something,

@opad, what you smell was nothing but 'fresh air of EXODUS OF POTENTIAL NIGERIANS'.hehheheheheheh

Turkey is a very expensive country to live in, you must have a strong financial backing if u plan to study in turkey, I once stayed in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir,

1 Usd is 1.8 Turkish lira

My brother transferred from unilag to bogazici university in Instanbul. It's a highly ranked american university (they teach in english) in Turkey so they tuition is fairly expensive (Think going to BIS, secondary school in Nigeria).
The higher ranked universities are also expensive (although not as much) but be prepared to
1) Go to the country early and learn the language before school starts if it's not an english university
2) They don't have much as far as jobs, at least for internationals. At best, you will probably make enough to live (rent+food)
3) You probably won't be finding scholarships lying around, be prepared to cough out some dough.
4) For countries that are not very westernized and don't speak english (read not america or UK), trust me, you don't want to get stuck there not going to school. It's harder to get jobs because you're a foreigner and more alone. There's usually bits of the racial discrimination (didn't experience any in turkey) and immigration/police will not be so kind.
5) The application process may be a long thing because of the language barrier and some of the universities don't have a strong internet presence.

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, just setting worst case expectations so you tie your shoes if you want to run this race.
