Koç University greatly values the interaction between its students and academicians. To that end, Koç University maintains a low student-faculty ratio at an average of ten to one. Faculty members closely follow the academic development of students and provide guidance at an individual level. All academic programs encourage an active and participatory learning environment.

Conditions are better than most uni jobs in Turkey but this is not an environment for talented teachers. There hasn't been a qualified director in Koc for over ten years, if ever. However if you just want to earn a good wage for turkey then this is where you should be.

Koc starts at 4000 TL and goes up from there. You also get housing, if you don't then you should get a good amount more than 4000 TL. The students are not the greatest but they don't seem to cause to much trouble compared to other schools. But in short it could get annoying teacher there or you can have a string of great classes and it could be delight teaching there.

The housing is next to the campus, but the campus is pretty far from the center of Sariyer and even further from Taksim. So you could save a bit of money because going out and spending it all will be to much of a hassle.

I hope that helped with any concerns

4000? Seems awfully low.
Would you mind letting us know where the number comes from? Employee/ former employee/ friend of employee etc? Any idea how qualifications/ experience factor in?
Thanks
