Guys, I came across this news yesterday and I freaked out! Bitlis Eren University is apparently a state university with almost no 'building' but this year they admitted their first students to the faculty of medicine and broke a record in preferences! 😱 The reason is interesting: the quality of education in Istanbul + a 50k scholarship pushed Bitlis ahead of well-established universities. What kind of haunted mansion is this? 😂
The logic used: "I will study in Bitlis, I will go to school and get a degree and get a scholarship!" (Yes, literally this is how they thought 🙃).
Do you also think this is illogical or am I just being paranoid? What do you think about the students who did this and the university? Should we say goodbye to the dream of studying in seaside luxury dorms? 🌊
People from Bitlis prefer it! How did a university with no building break a record? 🤔

Honestly, this tactic isn’t that illogical, bro, it’s kind of opportunistic. One of the biggest factors when choosing a university is, of course, scholarship opportunities, especially if the school has a chance to get into the top ranks—that’s the icing on the cake. With Bitlis Eren raising the quality of education in its medical faculty and offering substantial scholarships, students have done the math: “I can study here, make the dean’s list, and still keep my wallet full.” So it’s not just the physical campus conditions; the scholarship + top‑rank combo has become a serious motivator.
But of course this scenario doesn’t apply to everyone, and it can even be risky. Before enrolling, you have to thoroughly research the campus’s physical infrastructure, the academic staff, and internship opportunities. Likewise, getting into the top ranks isn’t guaranteed for every student—there are plenty of people who say “I’ll definitely make the dean’s list” and then mess up at the last minute.
But don’t forget: a university isn’t just a building; it’s a process full of opportunities. If you want to graduate with cash in your pocket and a solid diploma, this calculation makes sense. Otherwise, should everyone take out 500‑thousand‑lira loans just to study in fancy seaside dorms? If that were the case, nobody would look at public universities.
