EMU and NEU

Before I came to Cyprus, I thought many times which one of these university is more better between Eastern Mediterranean University and Near East University which are Cyprus Universities and I did many research to decide.EMU was established in 1979 in Famagusta and NEU also was established in 1988 in Nicosia which is the capital of Cyprus.Now,I will compare these universities and I will mention about some differences between EMU and NEU.
The first difference is dormitories in campus.These are 12 dormitories in EMU and all of them have many features that are necessary for students such as a clima,tv,refrigator…etc. (www.emu.edu.tr/dormitories ,EMU STUDENT BOOK p.80-81) In contrast,NEU has got 13 dormitories and features of these dormitories are not better than EMU’s dormitories. (www.neu.edu.tr) The second difference is faculties of EMU and NEU.Eastern Mediterranean University has 7 faculties, 2 postgraduates and 3 instituties.(www.emu.edu.tr,EMU STUDENT BOOK p.18-19)On the other hand,there are 11 faculties , 3 postgraduates, with Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Maritime studies, Faculty of Performing Education and Sports as different from EMU.(www.neu.edu.tr)

The third difference is the transportation system.Unlike EMU, NEU transportation system is free.Students use school buses freely to go home, dormitories, campus or wherever they want.(www.neu.edu.tr )But students of EMU have to pay fee except inside of campus.
Furthermore,EMU is in city centre,so students can go to campus by walking, but it isn’t like this in NEU, because NEU is far from city centre and students can’t go to campus by walking. (www.emu.edu.tr , www.neu.edu.tr )

And the last difference is fees.Fees are too much in NEU.All of the things are more expensive than Eastern Mediterranean University.For example, dormitory fees are between 965 Euro and 6615 Euro(www.neu.edu.tr ) while in EMU, these fees can change between 550 Dolar and 2500 Dolar (www.emu.edu.tr ,EMU STUDENT BOOK p.44)The other example is school fees.It can change between 4800 Dolar and 6000 Dolar, but in NEU, it is 4600 Euro.(www.neu.edu.tr )

In conclusion,as you see,there are some differences between EMU and NEU.Now, I am very happy to be a member of EMU.Research, which I did before I came here,helped met o choose one of them.I think, I chose the best one.
