Campus Life

Hi, I'm Vahap Apaydın. I'm a 4th year student in the Department of Finance at Inonu University. Today I'm going to tell you about campus life at our university. Our university has 3 campuses. One of them is the central campus and the other two are our 2 campuses belonging to vocational schools. The central campus is outside the city and is very easy to reach. We can get here by public buses and tram buses. Malatya Vocational School is located in the city center. Our 3rd campus is OSB Vocational School. As the name suggests, it is located in an organized industrial zone. The campus life of our university is quite colorful; conferences, panels, interviews, concerts, exhibitions and many more events are held. In fact, there are so many events that sometimes when I come across two events that I love so much at the same time, I can't decide which one to go to. Cultural and social activities organized on campus appeal to different interests. On the one hand, mini concerts can be attended, and on the other hand, we can participate in theaters. I volunteer at the Short Film Festival organized by our university every year. One of the areas where I spend a lot of time in our university is student communities. I stop by climbing halls, climbing wall, archery hall, swimming pools, court tennis and intermediate aircraft workshop and sand volleyball courts whenever I can. The Department of Health, Culture and Sports provides materials and venue support to student communities for event arrangements. The best example I can give is our athlete who improved himself in 2017 with the material support and financial support provided by our Mountaineering Society and was selected for the national team. He then climbed the 7134-meter-high Lenin Peak in Pakistan with the same material, winning the title of the second youngest Turk to reach over 7,000 meters. College campus life was a turning point for me. It allowed me to improve and socialize in many areas. Prospective students can expect a perfect campus life alongside academic education. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University.
