BEING AT METU

    Being a student at Middle East Technical University means a lot to me.METU  offers us a lot of     facilities.So,when we have graduated from this university we will have many advantages in life.
    First of all,being a METU  student means freedom.As there is no environmental opression around us,we can feel ourselves better and more comfortable.I think this has much importance for young people.This case is valid especially for the ones like me,who are fed up with the advices of people around.
    Secondly,this university enables us to have better education than the students at most of other universities.The better education the better life conditions in future.So studying in a university like METU is crucial for a good life especially in a country like Turkey.

    As a third part,there are many social groups for METU  students to join.These include;sport,idea,dance,music,art etc. groups.They have different kind of activities.Nobody can get difficulty in finding a group to join or activity to do. 

     METU has everything in its campus.It´s like a small city.For example,it has a shopping area but it is too expensive to shop there.Anyway we have a solution for this issue.There are shopping centres nearby.METU also has a huge library.We can find any kind of bookswe want.But as it is so enormous i still have difficúlties in finding books.METU also has its own health centre.We can apply there for every type of health problems.

    When it comes to transportation i can say that its difficult to get used to Rings.Their departure times looked so confusing at first.However, in the course of the time,i learned about them and now there is no problem.

     While having such facilities,how would it be impossible for me to get used to here?Anyway,i  had difficulty at the very beginning.It is just because of my feeling different when being in a new place or meeting new people.When the time passed,when i started to get accustomed to people here the problem disappeared.In my opinion friendship,social activities and the other facilities are important in this case.I don´t think would get used to METU without these.I can say that i found in METU what i expected before.Although having difficulties sometimes it is worth to be a student here.
