being a student in METU

Every student in Turkey wants to study in a university like METU because it has good qualified staff, chosen students and a wide reputation. I was one of these students but I was lucky because I had the chance to study here. When I first came to METU, like all the other freshmen I was a little bit disappointed because with a mentality of a newcomer to university, I was expecting somethings more entertaining rather than studying and quality in education. However, as time passed, I realized that METU is a big but a non-renewable chance for me. So unlike my friends in other universities, METU gave me a hand to think the future.. Also, my friends here are very qualified people, they have goals and disciplines in their lives. I have so many teachers to take as a model, I have many facilities like a huge library, student organizations which have a variety of things, sport courses, DEVRIM, a enormous campus side, a systematic order of the school etc. which please me much. Besides these facilities, METU has so many dormitories -some of which are in distant areas but comfortable- in campus so the students can catch their lectures easily. Also, there is a ring system which is sometimes not available but it meets the needs of the students and it is free of charge which is just the right thing for a university. In addition, we have chances to go abroad and study there with some programs like erasmus and comenius and there are some erasmus students studying here in METU and communicating with them in English is also necessary for the students here. I liked my department because I was expecting more strict courses and teachers but thanks God I found a lovely department having a strong cooperation inside and loved my teachers who has just the intention to teach not to try to train us in a hard way. In summary, I can recommend to study in METU to any kind of student.
