Arzu Koç : “We came for my daughter and her friend. Normally we were planning to come next week, but when we heard about such an organization, we set off from Sakarya early. This service is very nice. My daughter will probably prefer Ankara. Our choice was Istanbul because it is close to Sakarya, but life in Istanbul is very difficult, life is very difficult, so we headed to Ankara. Ankara is a student-friendly city and we follow it, so we chose this place. Thank you very much for this organization. It saved us a lot of trouble because we were supposed to come and visit the university next week. Now everything is in our hands. We got the job done in a single day.”
Nilüfer Ökmen: “I come from Eskişehir. I came because I was very curious. My daughter took the exam both to be informed and to choose schools to benefit from the preferences. I heard about this service from social media. I am satisfied and I liked it very much. We thank you."
The students who were excited about the choice also thanked ABB for the interest and concern they encountered with the following words:

Gülce Duru Koç: “We came from Adapazarı Sakarya. We came to get to know Ankara and to get information about universities. I had so many question marks in my mind. As someone who came from out of town, I was very curious about Gazi and Ankara University. Here I had the chance to make close contact. We were very well taken care of. I would like to thank ABB very much for holding such a great meeting collectively.”
Uras Kocakaya: “I am very glad that I came. It was very useful for us and we got free service here. We also love Mansur Yavaş. He is really student friendly. I want to study in Istanbul, but dormitories are very expensive. Economically, Ankara is more suitable for us.”
