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.
