BEİNG A METU STUDENT

JOURNAL ENTRY 2

Being a METU student for me is a great  thing. Because this university is my dream. I always want to be here. My dreams came true and here  I am.

. Thanks to the ring I can go faculty without tire and Being a METU student is  a privilege. There is no other university campus just like ours. In here you can find everything. For example we have a hairdresser , tailor , banks , market. Also our campus is very big. This can be hard for us sometimes because it takes too much time to go somewhere. But we have buses. We call them as “ring”s. They are very useful. I am staying in first dormitory and for me to go faculty is a big problem without pay. Because the rings are free. I thing it is a big serve to us. 

There is of course some challenges. Firs of all get  know here take time. When I came here for the first  time I did not know any place and I have difficulty find some place. Even now I fail keeping  in mind some place. The other challenge for me eating is expensive. We can not eating in refectory at the weekands and eating outside even in canteen is expensive.

Apart from these the biggest challenge is the distance. my hometown is seventeen hours away from here. So I can not go my home whenever I want. ı miss my mother , my father , my sister , I miss my home , I miss my city (no matter how small it is J).

But I tell myself if I achieve come here I can overcome all this challenges. Over time I will get used to. When I get used to this challenges maybe get easier.
