ROBERT COLLEGE

Founded in 1863 by Cyrus Hamlin and Christopher Robert, Robert College is the first American college established outside the borders of the USA. It is located on the European side of Istanbul, in a campus of 65 acres, encompassing a beautiful ancient grove, extending between Arnavutkoy and Ulus. Robert College has always aimed to graduate students with an appreciation for and understanding of knowledge and ethics, therefore, it has created an environment that fosters learning and self-improvement. Valuing extracurricular activities along with academics, Robert College provides its students with a strong basis to build on throughout their lives. Every year, Robert College hosts a variety of activities that give students an opportunity to excel at addressing an audience, debating, and improving their command of the English language. In 2007, RCIMUN was added to this list as a means for participants to express themselves freely while sticking to parliamentary procedures. Every April since then, the campus has hosted this conference that takes UN as its model. Besides delivering solutions to the ever-lasting problems of the modern world, we recommend that participants take their time to appreciate the beautiful campus, and enjoy the fabulous view of the Bosphorus. The Plateau and the RC Heritage Room are perfect locations where the dazzling panorama lies before you.
