International Student

My name is ALIM REXITI. I am from China, but I’m a Turk. We are known as Uyghur Turks. My father has does business in Turkey. First time I came here to travel, and I didn’t think I would study here, but while I was here and I heard the sound of the Turkish language, I fell in love with the language. I decided to learn Turkish and that’s how I spent my first year here. In the second year, I studied English, and then joined Baskent University. I can say that Turkey is a beautiful place, the language, the people; it is just a beautiful place. Regarding which city to study in, I think Ankara is the best city for that. The education quality of Baskent university is very good. First I wanted to study in Istanbul, but thank God my father advised me and brought me to Ankara and I chose Baskent university , I saw that there are a lot of foreigners in Ankara, also one of my friends recommended Baskent university for me. I feel that my life has just started in Baskent university with all the new knowledge and friends I got to meet here. I am very happy in Baskent university, the teachers are very helpful and they are helping the foreigners due to some difficulties they face with Turkish. It was hard for me in the start when I came to Turkey, first the language, second finding a house it was a little hard for me, but the university helped me a lot regarding that. The education level here is better than China it makes the students very relaxed and comfortable, and gives them motivation to study. Ankara is a very good place to study and work, while Antalya and Istanbul for me are just for having fun. I forgot to mention how much the people here in Ankara are friendly and warm, you guys will love it here.
