During my master's application process, the ICES Turkey İstanbul branch was one of my most significant supporters of me. Now I have graduated from Koç University, and I am a master's student at the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark. Thank you for everything, particularly for the support of Özge Karalar and Berk Alyeni.

After a difficult process with a different company and losing a year during my "Study Abroad" journey, I met ICES Turkey, and now I'm making my dreams come true. The care, attention, and trust they showed throughout the entire process made me realize that they truly love and are passionate about their work. The fact that I was able to find answers to every question I had every minute of every day and that they immediately provided solutions made my journey stress-free and confident. They are so professional in their work that they contacted the lawyer they worked with in Prague, the city where I wanted to study, to both expedite and simplify the process. I'm currently studying at the Czech Technical University in Prague and still receive help with even the smallest issues without hesitation. My advice to both adults and children who will read this review is to trust ICES without hesitation and take a big step toward achieving their dreams. Finally, a special thank you goes to Berk Alyeni, who has been both my mentor and my brother. Thank you for everything.
