IDEAL UNIVERSITY

As a beginning,to be able to talk about ideal university concept,we should know what the definition of ideal is. Ideal means only existing in your imagination or as an idea not likely to be real.According to this definition,an ideal university may have some imaginative peculiarities which might not be found in any university all around the world.In my opinion,firstly an ideal university must have autonomous environment.What I want to say is that all scientists,academistsprofessors and students must be exactly free while they are creating new knowledge,searching,writing a book,explaining their views about social events.In other words,any government or governmental institution shouldn't be able to interfere college activities.With this free climate,every member of varsity can easily express their authentic ideas and nobody can intervene others.Besides that liberal atmosphere,an ideal uiversity must have some characteristics to attract smart and hard-working students to its constitution.To my consideration,one of the most important features of an ideal college is where college is situated and what it can serve its participants.For example,in our country the best place for an ideal college is southwest region of Turkey because I believe that the climate of the city where you live effects your psychology and mood substantially.Even if a university  is prosperous but is placed in a hard area,it may seem less likeable than a stantard university.Not only its location but its facilities,opportunities and possibilities are significant for an ideal university as well.I mean that an ideal college must have a big campus enough to enjoy its students out of lesson hours.Inasmuch as,any student can't always study and wants to do some social activities as well.By doing these activities,a student can be more productive and have a good motivation.Eventually ,when I look at my college,METU,I can say that in most aspects METU meets my expectations even more than my expectations.It has almost all criteria I set for an ideal college aside from its location.I wish it had been constructed in a warm city,but anyway I am happy to be a member of METU and that's a privilege.

Life on Campus

 METU

 

First of all, being a student at METU means being a member of one of the most prominent universities in Turkey,for METU only accepts successful students from all branches all around Turkey.That also means I am in an elite neighbourhood,Ihave a reputable image in society.For example,when I heard that I was entitled to enter METU,many people from my environment asked me 'what university would you enter?' I answered them with METU.Most of their reactions were astonishment.Then they started to ask'how did you achieve this?' However,some people at that moment,some people later everybody congratulated me and they usually told me the same things such as  'It is very good,it is wonderful,well done,wishing a continued success.At that case,I understood that METU had a great status in community and I was proud of myself once again.Now,I am at METU and I am very happy because I chose METU myself not my father or mother and it was my first choice.Moreover,METU has many opportunities for its students.For instance,sports,it has many sport facilitieswhich are unavailable in most universities such as stadium,DEVRİM,astro pitches,tennis courts,swimming pools as outdoor and indoor pools,fitness centers,sports hall etc.When we take into consideration social activities,there are countless student clubs whatever suits you ,you can easily register that club,so(that) you make new friends and become more social.Apart from its good parts,there may be some challenges you will face in METU.This is my second year on campus.At the beginning of last year when I came here it was a bit challenging living alone cause for the first time I was away from my family in a different city and it was like starting a new life.Initially,I had no friends and urgently I had to make new friends,but after first week passed I got used toliving alone and made new associates.In addition,in some cases,I had to cook,but I didn't know how to cook different meals except for spaghetti.As time passed,I coped with all my problems and I began to enjoy my new and hard life without my parents in my varsity.After all,Iam doing pretty well on campus and I do not think I have any unsolved issues nothing more than missing my family so much.
