Being a Student at Metu

        Being a student at Metu was my goal in high school.Although I fulfill my dream, I have some adaptation problems.

  Firstly; because my all close friends are at a different section,I am so sad.I have difficulty in devoloping new relotionship and adapting to an unfamiliar environment. Living with people who I don't know so much about  is a hard condition.

  Secondly,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 am finding it difficult to understand my teachers clearly.Moreover university lessons are more difficult than high school lessons.While I spend lesss 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 comminicate my expectations respectfully for avoiding conflict with my roommates. By using maps, I learn where faculties and other buildings.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 of 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,healt center etc. Besides there are many social clubs.
  Metu gives me freedom I need.this is one of the advantages of Metu for me.
  Consequently; I am happy about being at Metu.despite of difficulties,Being a student at metu is privilege.
