what do you mean by public rules? like etiquette? if so then pretty much what your common sense tells you. where are you gonna be residing in Turkey? edit: i think this was a troll question but ehhh...

I cannot think of any public rules that u should follow in here which you wouldnt in Greece. Dont pee around in public, dont yell out loud that you need sex (with a man or a woman) or dont swear at someone u dont know without any reason (or with a reason) and u'll be fine. Blaze is right, this smells freshly cooked trollcake.

Although Turkey is a secular country and is very much Europeanized there are some things that should be followed while traveling in Turkey. Many things have to do with modesty and etiquette such as bringing a pair of long slacks and a jacket (you will need them anyway as sometimes it gets cold at night, even if it was 103 that afternoon). I say this because Mosque and even Catholic Churches are common tourist attraction during orientation of exchange programs and even throughout the year. Also wasting food is not the best thing to do in Turkey. Depending on what kind of dinning experience it is (buffet or a host family) you will have to react differently. If you are at a buffet it is up to you to monitor your food to not waste.... As for host families just pray that they stop putting food on your plate because as a guest they are eager to please you with their delicious food even if you are full. Other than that there is actually nothing written in stone if you are not a rude person you should be fine. The Turks seem to like everyone and will be happy to have you to diversify their schools. By the way I am also going to be studying abroad next year where are you going? I can definitely tell you more if you have any questions
