First off, the program is very well-organized, and there is a lot of fun excursions. You are directly immersed in Koç University, so there is a wide variety of courses that you can take and clubs that you can join. I got my scuba license while I was there and took some really fabulous classes with some wonderful professors.

HOWEVER, please, please, please, check the location of Koç before you go. It is literally located in the middle of a nature preserve, and it is a solid 1.5 hours into the city by public transportation. Furthermore, the public minibuses (dolmus) that take you up to the school from the end of the subway line stop running at 9PM, meaning a taxi if you want to stay in the center of the city past 7:30.
