Bahçeşehir University (BAU) is a private educational institution in Turkey, located around the Bosporus in Istanbul. The Turkish National Assembly authorized the establishment of the University of Bahçeşehir by the Bahçeşehir Uğur Education Foundation in 1998. An academic and strategic protocol was signed shortly after (February 1998) with San Diego State University in California, USA. The enrollment of the first students was made after the first placement exam (ÖSYS) in the 1999–2000 academic year. The university is one of the few universities in Turkey which has its lectures in English and therefore students applying to BAU are required to have high English proficiency.

The location is 5 stars Accessibility is 5 stars System is 5 stars According to the academic program it gives and the miscellaneous departments it has it considered a little bit pricey, however keep in mind low prices lead to low services. That's why they have their rank.

As an international student in this university for 3 years I can easily give an accurate and honest review. 1- It claims to be an international university where most staff members don’t even speak a word in English. 2- They treat students with least of respect and do not give a dam about assisting you in matters such as residence permit, courses registration, requesting documents where no one responds and they keep throwing the blame on someone else or contact this or that person. I even heard from the head of student affairs that I’m wasting his time. He got bothered doing his job and can’t give me clear answers or 5 minutes of his time because it’s only him responsible for thousands of students and stress gets over him easily. Briefly unprofessional unhelpful staff members in all matters. (Only couple of students at the student affairs would assist you in minor matters that’s in their power) 3- All the university cares about is making payments in time they will assists you in this matter only anything else is either not their responsibility or just throw your issue to another person. 4- Requesting your rights is a hustle to them. On multiple occasions I got disrespected for asking and requesting the same documents for many times with the limited time they give you to submit them or make ur tuition fees payment. 5- Education is average compared to the first world countries. Poorly equipped computers. 6- The good reviews are from students that work with the university and it asks them to post a decent review. Finally I highly recommend you do not enroll into this university where money alone is what they care about I rarely get assisted in other matters.

Facility-wise, this place is really not there yet to call it-self "Global University." The room management, building location information, internet access. It's not that level of being "International", just an illusion that seems like it.
Abdulhadi Hamid (Hadi)
It's incredibly frustrating to see how poorly the university handles its students' needs and understanding. Every day, I stumble upon new challenges because the university fails to provide proper explanations and support. They boast about being one of the best institutions, but the reality is far from it. The situation is unbearable, especially for international students who struggle with the language barrier. Before taking any action, I'd advise any new student to request an official email confirming everything they were promised before registration and payment. Transparency is vital in such a discouraging environment.
