Sabanci University
Welcome class. Today you will learn how to do Crank Dat Soulja Boy! (The Americans made me get up in front of Turkish university students and Crank Dat--pictures to come). Today we went to Sabanci University and listened to students present in English along with a guided tour of the campus.
I learned a lot of interesting things. In Turkey, to qualify for higher education one has to take a national exam (OSS). Depending upon the score, one is placed into a university and, potentially, an occupational track. Sabanci University, a private school, costs approximately $22,000 an academic year, whereas public schools are free! What a difference the costs of education are between Turkey and America. We are supposed to meet with them sometime to hang out. They're supposed to show us a good time.
