- METU is an English medium university and all METU classes are in English.
- Students live on campus during the week, which is a self-contained community and an easy place for international students to live.

- A New Middle Eastern University with Modern Western World Objectives: Written in 1960 by W. R. Woolrich (former Dean of Engineering at The University of Texas-Austin) and published in the Journal of Engineering Education, this paper describes how American and Turkish academics and statesmen collaborated to establish METU at the height of the Cold War. This historical connection between the US and METU provides the context for this exchange program.
