Hi everyone,
I’m an international student considering Ankara Bilim University for Computer Engineering.
My profile:
Saudi secondary school certificate: 100/100
IELTS: 6.5
I’d really appreciate honest opinions from current students or recent graduates.
I have a few questions:
About the program
If you could choose again, would you still study Computer Engineering at Ankara Bilim? Why or why not?
How is the quality of the professors? Are they generally helpful and good at teaching?
Is the curriculum up to date? Do you learn useful skills for software engineering jobs?
Are exams fair, or are some professors known for making students fail?
How difficult is it to maintain a GPA above 3.0?
How easy is it to find internships during your studies?
Have graduates been able to find jobs in Turkey or abroad?
What’s the biggest advantage of Ankara Bilim?
What’s the biggest disadvantage?
Is there anything you wish you had known before enrolling?
About tuition/discounts
I’ve been offered a tuition fee of USD 3,000 per year through an agency. Is this a normal scholarship/discount, or should I ask for a better one?
Has anyone managed to negotiate a larger scholarship or discount? If so, how?
Thanks in advance! I’m looking for honest opinions, both positive and negative.(and feel free to answer some of the questions u don’t necessarily have to answer all of them)

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply to Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University (AYBU) for Computer Engineering as an international student.
I’m an international student (Syrian/lebanese)graduated from a governmental Saudi high school so I posses the General Secondary Education Certificate 100/100 also 1080 score on the SAT and lastly a 6.5 on ielts
Someone told me that my chances of admission might be low, so I’d like to hear from current students or recent applicants.
I have a few questions:
How competitive is AYBU Computer Engineering for international students?
Have you seen applicants with an SAT score around 1080 get accepted or rejected?
Does AYBU place more emphasis on the SAT score or the high school average?
If you know, what SAT scores did most admitted international Computer Engineering students have?
If you think my chances are low, could you explain why?
I’d really appreciate honest answers from current students or people who have gone through the admission process. Thanks!

Is it a good plan for somebody with zero knowledge about the SAT math and let’s say math in general to study using only prof leonard on YouTube and then solving college bank question for each lesson (I struggle to find places that explain the math topics fully like whenver I finish a lesson I discover that I still get stuck on so many sat questions like ones that have never been explained in the vid I watched for example …do u guys know why is that and what do I do to fix it )is it good if I wanna score 1500+ if not for 1500+ what would it gain me, also be open to provide your resources…

I’m applying for comp Eng but I’m indecisive about which private university to pick. A lot of people say it doesn’t matter COENG is the same everywhere but what if like the professors where malicious and not lenient or they don’t teach properly…also I was thinking about Bilim univerty cuz they offer good discounts but went on Google Maps and they had bad reviews like “the prof wants u to fail”also is there any place to see the reviews of specific universities ? idk kindly recmnd me the best private university in your opinion and lmk the pros and cons of them from your experiences…thx in advanced

Hi I’m thinking of studying comp eng in Ankara private universities and I feel like I’m bad in math and have no knowledge in programming I’m currently trying to study through cs50 intro to programming course and also I’m bad at physics ….im anxious I would find the coursework hard

Hi let me get straight to it my certificate is The Saudi Thanawiya (General Secondary Education Certificate) I want to major in computer engineering at Alexandria university do I need a preparatory year also is the CENG major doable what is the hardest subject also is it better to get in cs rather than the CENG in the first place . How hard is the coursework for somebody with zero knowledge and is bad in math and physics

Greetings cs students I’d like to inquire about there curriculum or coursework difficulty how much math difficult it is and do u need to have prior programming and math knowledge if yes is there specific math topics to strengthen or even learn from zero and also do I have to have high programming knowledge or something (do u suggest taking a specific course before uni ? Is cs50 python intro enough?)also what skills to enhance like prob solving and how to do so also would u take this major all over again like generate other questions that are crucial to ask a cs student that will help me know if I should major in cs also do u work while studying and if yes how and what ?is ur job cs related ?how much do they study and tips for studying and are they good at math and physics instrinsically , how much is the coursework programming versus math ,is the coursework physics heavy ? Are the labs difficult ? How difficult are the exams compared to the assignments How strong does your math need to be before starting?
Can someone who isn’t naturally good at math still succeed?
Which math topics should I strengthen before entering?
Is problem-solving ability more important than programming knowledge?if yes how to improve it ,how many hours do u study per week How do you avoid falling behind? Do u still have free time for hobbies and other stuff
How stressful so the program on a scale of 1-10 ,Which courses require the most consistent effort?
What’s the worst thing about the program?
Who do you think should NOT study Computer Engineering?

(Ok this is so overstimulating and overwhelming but I’m super anxious and indecisive I’m trying to ask as much question as possible to help me know ifCENG is the right major for me guys pls help (btw any ceng girls here ?)) (ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU CAN YOU DONT HAVE TO ANDWER THEM ALL🛑)

I searched several time on their websites but couldn’t find the this year’s tuition fees I only could find the 2025-2026 fees guide, if anybody has the 2026-2027 one pls send me

I’m currently on khan and I don’t know if I should swap to panda or maybe any other foundational book yall would recmnd but I feel like khan is not arranged im still in the first lesson the linear relationships lesson but I feel like they give question and assume u have prior knowledge and after all the question they have given they provide the concepts explanation it feels backwards and in reverse idk is it only me or yall faced similar issues …. Also if yall have better books for foundation pls recommend im still in grade 11 and i ahve so many knowledge gaps

I need accurate diagnostic test to test my level whether websites or anything cuz I don’t wanna waste blue book’s

I only ahve 13 days and I want to take a diagnostic test another one from the one I’ve taken last year (which I haven’t even reviewed cuz I thought it’s too old )I want to cover all the math topics and cover all the easy and medium questions for them this is my strategy I am aiming for 1300 my questions is that is studying solely from khan academy for every topic and then taking the diagnostic test and then solving cb qb a until test day a good strategy ?
