BEING A METU STUDENT
First of all, to be honest, I have never dreamed
of being a METU student. I have always dreamed of being in the Bosphorus.
However, I am in Metu now and I am happy.
There
are many advantages of being here. I stay in the eighth dormitory and this
dormitory has fame for being funny all through Turkey. There are funny guys,
strange habits and creative jokes in my dormitory. It is close to shopping
malls, restaurants, cafeteria, gymnasium which is very beneficial for me. I
think our campus is one of the best ones in Turkey. Ring buses take students to
the Faculty of Education before and after classes for free. They are pretty
much useful. If they didn't exist, it would take too long time to go to the
Faculty of Education. There are great and variable social clubs that we can
attend whenever we want. For example, I am attending the Ultimate Frisbee Team,
The Photography Club, The Radio Club and IEEE. Apart from such things related
with campus or social opportunities, we have wonderful and sophisticated
teachers who are pretty much good at their job.
As
can be guessed, there are some challenges that we have to cope with. Firstly,
life is expensive here. For instance, I go to a shopping mall, like one piece
of t-shirt but unfortunately I cannot afford it! Eating outside is expensive,
too. If you want to eat something tasty, you have to pay at least ten boxes. We
are just students who are dependent on our families for financial support! As I
am away from my hometown, I sometimes become homesick and miss my family and
friends. The distance between places is another problem for me. When rings do
not work, I may have to walk too much.
By
most aspects, I love METU and I think being a student of it is privileged. I
assume that as the time goes by I will get accustomed to live here and be
familiar with its every square meter.
