2000 yılında eğitime hak kazandığım Hukuk Fakültesi sayesinde bu eşsiz binanın koridorlarında dört yıl boyunca dolaşma şansına sahip oldum. Her şey bir yana, böylesine güzel ve hacim olarak geniş bir binanın içerisinde bulunan amfilerde ders almak şüphesiz ki öğrenmemize katkıda bulunmuştur.

Her yerden kolay ulaşımı sayesinde bulunduğu konum harika bir yerde. Eğitim kalitesi çok iyi. Tercihlerinizin arasında önceliklerinden ilki olabilir.

70 li yıllarda Atatürk Eğitim Enstitüsü olarak adı geçerdi. Konumu itibariyle şehir içindeki en popüler üniversitelerden biridir. Oldum olası muhafazakar kökenli bir profile sahiptir. Çevremizdeki öğretmen tanıdıklarımızın büyük bir kısmı buradan mezundur. Minibüs yolu üzerinde olması nedeniyle ulaşımı çok kolaydır ve çevredeki esnaf ve kiralık ev piyasası için çok önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir

Hem mimari yapısı hem de eğitim kalitesiyle İstanbulun en cezbedici eğitim kurumlarından bir tanesi. sadece kurumsal kimliği ile değil mimari yapısı ile de istanbulu'un şehir dokusuna ve kosneptine ters düşmeyen belli başlı kurumları arasında. Türkiyedeki en yüksek puanla öğrenci kabul eden kalburüstü hukuk eğitimi veren kurumlarından bir tanesi

Kampüs hayatı olarak bir öğrencinin beklentilerini karşılayabilecek nitelikte bir yerleşke olmasıyla birlikte eğitiminin ne kadar iyi olduğundan bahsetmeye gerek bile yok. Yerleşkenin jeopolitik konumu gerçekten muhteşem. Çok merkezi bir yer olması sebebiyle her yere ulaşım mümkün.
