General Perspective of Ankara
The capital is basically the administrative centre of the
country and it is student city in that it hosts four state
and four private universities. Moreover, being one of the
largest cities in the country, it provides ample cultural
and recreational activities. As a student city, Ankara is

to be overwhelming. Being well designed and compact,
the amenities are conveniently positioned and easily
accessible.

road and rail links as well as an airport to national and
international destinations. Since it is centrally located,
access to any of the seacoasts ranges from two and a half
