BEING A STUDENT AT METU

            I had some adaptation problems at METU when I first came here.. It was difficult for me to get used to a new environment. I had a lot of prejudices about new friends, new city, new school… Luckily, I got accustomed to all of them.

            When I first came to METU, I was scared of the size of campus. Its ways are too complicated. Due to the fact that I came from a small city, it was very big and confusing for me. Nevertheless, being at such a big university was unusual and nice.

            In my highschool times, my dream was to get score that is enough for Boğaziçi University and to go to METU. Hence, even if I didn’t get a enough score for Boğaziçi, at least I could come to METU. If I say this with another words, METU was my dream.

            Being here is wonderful. I can feel myself as a university student. It is really different from high school. We are not child anymore. We are adult now. I can feel this here.

            I addition to this advantages, being a student at METU brings some responsibilities, of course. I have lessons at which teachers always speak  English. Although I am a foreign language student, sometimes I have difficulties in understanding these lessons. But it is actually good thing. At high school times, I didn’t make enough listening or speaking exercises, so I was not enough qualified for being a foreign language student. Knowing English well is obligatory here.  That’s why, I hope I can get used to this as soon as possible.

If I talk about the dormitory, I can say we are very lucky for being METU student. I have never stayed in a dormitory. Hence, I didn’t know dormitories’ enviorenment. However, when I came this dormitory, I realized that it is really wonderful in terms of being together with friends, studying altogether etc. I think there is nowhere else like this dormitory I can much more like.

To improve ourselves, METU is the best place. In high school, I didn’t have enough time for this. I was studying all the time. But here I have a lot of time and opportunities.. There are a number of activity clubs at METU. I have loved them.

Being a student at METU means to me feeling myself special. Being here is like being in a different world. I know when I graduate from this school, I will be a good teacher thanks to attending this university. =)
