Foreign students in Northern Cyprus: False promises and disillusion • FRANCE 24 English

I stayed in northern cyprus 2 weeks for university, and i immediately left, 0 regrets, definitely avoid this place at all costs, it's a scam, and not safe especially for african students.

As someone who did his master's in Northern Cyprus in EMU, I can tell you this report is completely accurate. The racism is beyond imagination. They treat students as slaves.

Hello guys, am i also a victim. I gain admission in a university in north Cyprus for a 4 years course last march. I left Cameroon hoping am going to Cyprus to study upon arriving at the Cyprus emigration about 15 to 20 international students were held and deported back to their home country without even giving or telling the students reasons for not allowing them to enter the country. I had all my documents ready with a sum of 500$ cash on me as stated. The way Africans are been treated around the globe is awful, i spent all my savings so i could go and study abroad instead they treated us like prisoners.😢

I studied in North Cyprus and I have faced so many racists so I don't advice anyone to study in North Cyprus.

They forgot to mention that you pay rent in British Pounds ,Euros or dollars. as an African student you do not pay rent in the local currency Turkish Lira.

FREEDOM TO CYPRUS 🇨🇾

You are very correct. If you have gone there with hope of making a living as a student, your dream will dye. I am a victim and I stay here for 6.5 years.

They are not in Europe. It's Freud. Northerncyprus are not recognized. Don't waist you're money . Southern cyprs is and you pay in euros and is in Europe and recognized. Teachers in northerncyprus may well not be teachers as the education is not recognized. He acutely lied on Camara 😂😂😂 it's not in Europe and just goes to show what the education is like if he thinks he's in Europe 😂 lovely place but very corrupt! Make sure it's southern you come to cyprus people .

Being a graduate from EMU back in 1995, I can say without hesitation that EMU atleast at that point in time was one of the best universities for engineering studies. It was very tough but the quality of staff and knowledge imparted was better than many universities in USA and Euorpe. I can say this because friends of mine who couldn't cope with engineering courses in EMU transfered to very good US universities and found the exams and curriculum there much much easier.

Northern Cyprus is very small. You can’t hide the face of any agent. I know this anonymous agent in person. Just from his morphology.

Maybe they should have gone to a recognised country

The division of Cyprus is not due to a ''civil war'' my friend, it's due to Turkey's INVASION and OCCUPATION of the northern area of the Republic of Cyprus

thank you for investigating & reporting on these allegations. i will look into this matter.

I am a final year student of European University of Lefke. if anything; i can confirm all this documentary has said but again it left alot of horrible things that majority of the international students are suffering here. Back in 2021 i recorded a video exposing this exact narration from the documentary and shared it as much as I could, today i can happily say it saved alot of people. Northern Cyprus is expensive very expensive,if you don't have a good financial background dont take a step coming here. And also i only know of four universities that are accredited the rest are all scams. Be vigilant!!

I’m a student in BAU and everything here is true. Most things even left out especially the police brutality, fraud m, corruption and so on. I’m almost done with my studies and I’d be leaving. Please do not come here

I wouldn't want to go study in TRNC.

FREE CYPRUS 🇨🇾

It's heartbreaking to see young people have their dreams broken like this ! 🙏

By the way there are lots of arabic countries do not recognize the universities of northern cyprus like Egypt, Syria, Iraq... and recently Jordon has stopped to recognize the universities of northern cyprus

Free Cyprus 🇨🇾
