International Student

Hello, I am Jovhar Aliyev. I am a second grade student at the department of Architecture, Başkent University. I come from Azerbaijan. I was thinking of studying abroad and I thought that Turkey had a great potential in this respect. I hadn’t felt anxious about Turkey before arrival. I still feel the same. Yes, I am very happy to study here. My dream was already to study abroad since childhood. I am very pleased to have chosen Başkent University to make my dreams come true. When I first raised this with my family, their first answer to me was to choose Turkey. Then, I collected some information about this university both over the Internet and from my friends living here, and I decided to come here. Now, I am in Başkent University. I entered this university with my examination for foreign students result, and I took this exam here. My professors helped me a lot to take this exam. Başkent University has made a big contribution to me, particularly on my decision to be a designer. I think that I have improved a lot in terms of social experiements, designs and culture. I haven’t had any trouble since I came to Ankara. However, if I do, my professors will help me, I think. I think that this university is in the front in terms of education; and that’s why I preferred Başkent University. It is a university which is rich in social and cultural activities. To make use of these facilities, I have preferred to join folk dance classes. All types of folk dance from different regions of Turkey are taught in the course. Meanwhile, we also join the festivals abroad. I have been to outside of Ankara such as Izmir and Istanbul. I love them all. One reason why I chose Ankara is that it is a historic city and architecturally rich. I can say that the quality of both education and frienships are very high here. I also think that it is ahead of others culturally and socially. I advise everyone to choose this university. I also want to do my master’s at Başkent University and improve myself architecturally after graduation.
