Uşak, located in the inner Aegean Region, is a quiet Anatolian city known for its carpet weaving tradition and leather industry. The ruins of the ancient city of Blaundos, the breathtaking nature of the Ulubey Canyon, and the simple structure of the city center give Uşak a peaceful character. It offers an ideal environment for students seeking academic focus away from the crowds of big cities. Uşak carpets are works of art exhibited in world museums, and the Karun Treasure collection is proof of the city's cultural depth. Uşak Üniversitesi shapes the city's academic and social life with over fifteen thousand students. The Department of Leather Engineering is one of the few programs in Turkey and is directly related to the city's leather industry history. The Ceramic, Glass, and Tile Design programs are compatible with the Aegean's handicraft tradition. The faculties of Engineering, Economics and Administrative Sciences, and Education form the core programs. The campus offers students a comfortable environment with its modern and compact structure. With the advantage of being a small university, one-on-one communication with professors is strong, and early participation in research projects is possible. The cost of living is Uşak's most obvious advantage. Accommodation and daily expenses are among the lowest levels in Turkey. Fresh products are economical in local markets. A comfortable student life can be sustained with a limited budget. A standard of living that can be considered luxurious here can be achieved with the amount of scholarships given in big cities. Social life is not at big city standards, but Ulubey Canyon is a unique discovery point for nature lovers as one of Turkey's largest canyons; the glass terrace and walking trails are the city's newest nature tourism investments. The ancient city of Blaundos, Clandras Bridge, Banaz thermal springs, and surrounding plateaus offer weekend activities. University events and club activities are the mainstays of social life. Proximity to Denizli, Afyon, and Kütahya offers regional alternatives. The vineyards of Sivaslı and the leather workshops of Eşme provide district-specific discoveries.
