The majority of the public transport in İstanbul requires a card called "İstanbulcard". It can be bought and topped up from self service machines at metro stations and most of the bus stops, including the ones at the airport.
The easiest way to reach the Kandilli Campus or Anadolu Hisari Campus is to take a bus either from Kadıköy (14R: Kadıköy-Rasathane). The bus stop is very close to the respective shore. It takes around 40 - 45 minutes to reach the campus. From the bus stop it takes 5 minutes to walk to the campus and another 5 minutes to the Center.
From Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Kadıköy: There is a metro line M4 which runs between airport and Kadıköy.
From Istanbul Airport to Kadıköy: The best way is to take the shuttle "Havaist" from the airport. You can download its app to buy a ticket or pay by cash or credit card at the kiosks next to the bus station.
From Söğütlüçeşme to Kadıköy: Take the metro M4 for 1 stop.
From Harem to Kadıköy: The bus companies mostly have shuttles to take you to either Kadıköy or Üsküdar. There are busses called "minibus"(requires you to pay in cash) which can also take you to Üsküdar or Kadıköy. Üsküdar is also in a nice walking distance of approximately 15-20 minutes.
Havaist drops you off by the shore next to the bus stations. You should then find the one for Rasathane with the number 14R. This bus runs approximately every 20 minutes and the last one leaves Kadıköy at 00:05.

Practical Information
The cheapest way to have mobile internet is to get an e-sim if your phone supports it. Otherwise, you can get a prepaid sim kart with 25GB of data from Turk Telekom which costs 1420 TL (about 30 Euros). You can buy this at the airport after baggage claim and before the exit.
