Turkish educators urge university hopefuls to consider Balıkesir and focus on career dreams
University candidate Mustafa Canbey highlighted Balıkesir as a safe, student‑friendly city offering high quality of life, modern campuses and rich social opportunities at Balıkesir University and Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University. He urged applicants to add these institutions to their selection lists, citing the region’s two seas, Kaz Dağları, historic sites and welcoming community.
Dr. Talip Emiroğlu, chairman of the boards of Kocaeli Sağlık ve Teknoloji Üniversitesi and Kıbrıs Ada Kent Üniversitesi, advised young people to choose their dream before a profession, stressing that merely obtaining a job is no longer enough. He called on students to aim for projects such as world‑impacting software or new medicines, arguing that universities can accelerate such ambitions.
