Being a student at METU was my goal in high school. Although I have
fulfilled my dream, I have some adaptation problems now.
Firstly; because all my close
friends are at a different section, I am so sad. I have difficulty in
developing new relationships and adapting to an unfamiliar
environment. Living with people who I don't know so much about is a
hard condition.
Secondly, the campus is too
complicated and broad. On account of the distance between faculties and
dormitories, it takes so much time to go to anywhere.
Lastly English is the
language of instruction at METU.As a consequence of this; I find it difficult
to understand my teachers clearly. Moreover, university lessons are more
difficult than high school lessons. While I spend less time in class, I study
hard at my free time. Also, I need to balance work and social life.
To cope with the challenges
that I am facing, I am trying to get along with my new friends. I communicate
my expectations respectfully for avoiding conflict with my roommates. By
using maps, I learn where faculties and other buildings are. When I don't
understand what teachers are talking about, I ask for help. Also, I attend
class regularly and take notes in order to improve my success.
Despite its hardships, METU
provides a lot of opportunities for students. They can find whatever they want
or need at shopping centers. Also, there are a wide range of places like cafes,
library, post office, health center etc. Besides, there are many social clubs.
METU gives me the freedom I
need. This is one of the advantages of METU for me.
Consequently, I am happy
about being at METU. Despite difficulties, being a student at METU is
privilege.
