Sevgili Emin, bak bakalim dunyadaki en iyi ilk 500 okul arasinda (2007), ITU veya Hacettepemi var yoksa Bilkent mi var, ayrica sosyal bilimler alaninda istersen bir siralamalara bak (economics, political science, IR ve digerleri) Hacettepe nin adi geciyormu, ama tip alaninda arastirma konusunda birsey diyemem Hacettepe bildigim kadariyla en iyi ama simdilik
Bilkent daha tip fakultesini acmadi….

ozbekistan’in turk universitelerini tanimamasi normal, bi benzeri bir azerbaycan’li arkadasin basina gelmisti: bogazici bilgisayar ve matematigi ilke ucte cift anadal ile bitirip, princeton’da doktora yapmisti ve azerbaycan princeton’i tanimamisti
. Oluyor yani, adamlarin idraklari bu kadar zorlamamak lazim. Bu arada ozbekistan’in tr’ye yetismesi icin 70 yil gerek denmis, bence en az 150 lazim…
simdi tr’deki universitelere gelince, itu, hacettepe ve bilkent kiyaslanmis. Bilkent su anda turkiye’deki en iyi universitedir. Bilkent’teki paralilar yuzunden bu deniyorsa, sunu gozonunde bulundurmak gerekir ki bir cogu oldukca basarilidir, ilk 1000′de, 5000′de olup parali giren coktur bilkent’e, ve yine elektronik gibi zor bolumleri bile 1. 2. bitiren bir cok parali gorulmustur bilkent tarihinde. Yok hayir burslularinda bile is yok derseniz, yurt disina cikip hoca olmus kac tane bogazici, odtu mezunu var bir de kac tane bilkent mezunu var; yurtdisina kac tane master doktora ogrencisi yollayabiliyor bu uniler bir bakin ve kiyaslamayi gorun bakalim.
Son olarak sunu soyleyeyim, bilkent muhendislikte burslu okudum ve su anda usa’in en iyi okullarindan birinde doktora yapiyorum, bolumde 8 tane turk var, 7 si (bolumu hep dereceyle bitirmis ve oss’de de hep dereceli arkadaslardan olusan bir grup) bilkent’li; tek odtu’lunun de amerika’da baska (orta seviye) bi yerden master’i var sonra buraya gelebilmis. Yeterince acik mi veriler ?
Hacettepe ve ITU mu, ben usa’deki iyi universitelerde pek gormedim kimse kusura bakmasin, goren varsa buraya yazarsa ben de ogrenmis olurum. Zamaninda okulda/oss’de/olimpiyatlarda iyi yapamayip, tr’deki top universitelere giremeyip; sonra da bunlari yapip o en iyi universiteleri dereceyle bitiren ve o universitelerin en iyi olmalarini saglayan kisilere haksizlik etmeyin. Atip tutmak kolay, gercekler ve hayat bos laflarla olmuyor…
son olarak da progidy’ye katiliyorum, tr gercekten toplu egitimde amerika’ya gore cok geride. avrupa’yi cok bilmiyorum ama buradaki egitim kosullari hem equipman, hem de egitim politikasi olarak cok ileri: mesela undergrad’lari erken research’e tesvik cok ust seviyelerde, tr’de bu hic tesvik edilmez; grad level’da burada su gibi paper basilir, tr’de bir kac tane (buradaki bir grad ogrenci tr’deki bir hocadan daha fazla paper basiyor ortalamada benim gordugum). tr’de cok buyuk bir ogrenci potansiyeli var ve bizim bu ulusal kahraman olarak gordugumuz, arada bir gazetelere cikan basarili turk gencleri de tr ile amerika arasindaki egitim farklarindan kaynaklanan aciklarini kapatmak icin asiri fedakarlik yapan ve bi yerlere gelmeye calisan azinligin azinligi konumunda. toplumsal gelisme bu sekidle olamayacagi icin, bunun ovunulecek bir yani yok, tersine hepimizin uzerinde dusunmesi gereken noktalari aciga cikariyor. yuzyillardir suregelen geri kalmislik umarim ileride tersine doner, en azindan yeni nesillerde eskiye gore gelisme var; ben bunu goruyorum.
konu sonlara dogru biraz dagilmis olabilir, nitekim basladigimda bu kadar yazmaya niteyim yoktu, neyse artik umarim yararli olmustur.

Ben Bilkent’in Turkiye’nin en iyi universitesi olduguna kesinlikle katilmiyorum. Bazi ogrencilerinin cok basarili olmasina ragmen genel olarak ogrencilerin seviyesi cok dusuk. Bir universitenin iyi olmasinda bakilan cesitli sartlar var. Ne kadar bilimsel yayin yapildigi, ogrenci basina kac hoca dustugu gibi.. Bilkent’in bu tur konularda iyi olmasi dogal cunku parayi bastirip hocayi aliyorlar. Alirken de su kadar yayin yapacaksin diye sart kosuyorlar.
Ben de su an Amerika’nin en iyi universitelerinden birinde master yapiyorum ve burda ciddi sayida ODTU, Bogazici mezunu varken sadece bir tane Bilkentli gordum ki o da burslu okumus. Senin gittigin bolumde cok Bilkentli olabilir. Bu her yerde ayni olmak zorunda degil. Tam tersine benim bildigim ODTU yurtdisina ogrenci gonderme konusunda cok basarili. Kaynak veremiycem ama duydugum seyi soyluyorum. Amerika’da doktora yapan yabanci ogrencilerin geldikleri universitelere bakmislar. ODTU butun universiteler arasinda onuncu. Bilkent’in bunu gectigini sanmiyorum.
Aman neyse biz birbirimizi yiyim duralim. Kimse sallamiyo zaten..

The fuel of fire in hell is men and stones.
(2/24)
But if you do not, and you will not, then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones; it is prepared for the unbelievers.
O Believers, save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel are men and stones,
(66/6)
O Believers, save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel are men and stones, and over which are set harsh, terrible angels, who do not disobey God in what He commands them, and they do what they are commanded.
Fuel of fire in hell is stone scientitfically means mass can be converted into energy but it will only be in hell. Einstein or other scientists who thinks that they had got this technology it was their false statement. It will be activated only in hell.
Scientists specially jews used such things from Quran to terrorize the world, there is no such think like atom bomb or hydrogen bomb or nuetorn bomb etc. Atomic attach on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was also a fraud to terrorize the world. In fact it is global common network of USA,Russia,Israel,China,Europe and Japan which deals with it and all of them have common interest. Similarly Holocost of jews in second world war and Y2K problem were also a fraud. Think about the reality of reaching moon yourself? Soon you will know the reality how on the name of cure and saving lives poisonous medicines had been given to thirld world specially the five life saving injections to kids. The list of lies from them is too long.
From youtube.com search on atom bomb does not exist or use the following link.

Boğaziçi is by far the best university in Turkey. The university system in Turkey works differently than in United States or in Europe. What makes a university a good university in Turkey is the quality of its student body. Every student takes the test called Öss after completing the high school and they are placed to the universities according to their results in that test. Boğaziçi, in all fields including engineering programs, requires the highest points. To give an example in year 2007, Boğaziçis Management program accepted 100 students, the latest to be accepted was the 370th out of 1.7 million candidates. So that department took 100 super students out of the best 370. In order to get accepted to METUs same department, you didnt have to be so good, although you should still be somewhere in the first thousands(that means METU is a very good school too). Now the logic is simple, All the students in Boğaziçi could be enrolled in any other university in Turkey(including private universities like Bilkent WITH %100 scholarships) but probably Half of the METU students aimed for Boğaziçi but couldnt make it and went to there. Coming to Bilkent, it is really sad to see a Private University classified as one of the best universities in Turkey. In Turkey the Private and State universities are not the same as in United States. Turkey is much of a social state, and the foundation of private universities were allowed only in the last two decades. Who goes to Private Universites in Turkey? Children of rich parents who are not that well to make it to Boğaziçi or Metu. There are also limited number of scholarships for the top 1000 students, but as I said majority of the students turn down that offer to go to Boğaziçi or Metu. The best private universities are Koç, Sabancı and Bilkent, they all probably have better equipment and all(especially Koç and Sabancı have state of art campuses) but as I said, these schools are known to be for idiots with money, and not much appreciated in Turkey(at least not as much as Boğaziçi and Metu does.) The third best university, after Boğaziçi and Metu worth mentioning would be Istanbul Technical University. None of these schools have medical school though. Best Medical Schools in Turkey are Hacettepe Universitys Medical School, and Istanbul Universitys Cerrahpaşa Medical School. Also none of these schools(Boğaziçi,Metu and Itu) have law schools. There are really not a worth mentioning law school in Turkey. Galatasaray Universitys law school takes only 20 students and has the highest points, but probably Istanbul and Ankara universities extremely big law schools(each gets around 400 students every year) are better but still not very hard to get in.

Niyazi Yetmez arkadaşım Bilkent’ten yurtdışına giden öğrencilerin EZİCİ çoğunluğu burslu olarak yurtdışına gitmektedir. Parayı bas git mantığı olsaydı Türkiye’deki diğer üniversiteler de tonla adam gönderip reklam yapardı. Ama onlar genelde dediğin gibi adam yolladığı için buna gerek duymuyorlar
Coming to Mr.Burak Ayrancı
Boğaziçi nah the best university in Turkey. Who can say that university is the best. I think we have to seperate ranking as per departmen. We cannot rank universities generally. I am a undergraduate student in Bilkent and working on Elec. Elec. Eng. I can say sth for my department. Bilkent EE is the best depratment among EEE. In Turkey people graduated Boğaziçi University Engineering Department known as not a engineer because they generally join another career oppurtunity. I know many people who had wanted Bilkent Department but won METU due to their low University Enterance Exam Point. If you search on the net Bilkent University’s Academics you can see they are very very important people in science.

i have been in istanbul as a student and like to share my experience.
1- if you wanna study study in istanbul bcause culture arts science all way available.
2-bu, itü , ist ün , marmara , yıldız are top universities.
3-itü is very famous for the engineering and many students work while study.
4-the way of living in istanbul is great for students.
5- universities in ankara is sort of goverment policy to attract students to ankara.
6-who study in istanbul hardly go to anotolia.
7-who study in anotolia willing to got istanbul in work matters
to make up the end:
istanbul is a city following newyork london paris and berlin.
so no way out to study somewhere.
