The first university in the world was established in Bologna, Italy, by students who were eager to study law. In Turkey, the first university, Darulfunun, was founded in 1863 by the government. Today, in Turkey, there are many universities. The majority of these universities are public universities, while the number of private universities is on the increase. Private universities fascinate students with the opportunities they offer: various social activities, physical facilities, and renowned academic stuff. On the other hand, students in public universities lack many of basic amenities; therefore, they don't attract students. Nevertheless, public and private universities seem dissimilar on the surface, yet they are alike in two important points.
