International University

Al-Hussein Aklan. I am from Yemen. I am 23 years old. I graduated from the Department of International Trade and Finance. I've been here for about 5 years. I studied at TÖMER in Bursa for 1 year. After that, I moved to Yalova. When I moved to Yalova, I started my studies at my department. The reason why I prefer Yalova University is Yalova itself. Because Yalova's location is close to Istanbul and Bursa and close to my favorite places, I chose Yalova and Yalova University. Before I came to Yalova, I had this thought: It's a small city, they don't have many places to socialize. With the activities offered to us by the International Students Office, I have come to appreciate Yalova's beautiful nature. My reason for choosing International Trade and Finance is this: With the globalization of the world, it is imperative that we be international and I wanted to be an international student myself. Before I came to Yalova, I was in Bursa and while I was registering for language education, I met a guy who is from Yalova. He gave me his card and said that he can help me when I come to Yalova. When I arrived, he really picked me up from the terminal and brought me to Yalova University. So, I registered very easily. Our English-speaking staff at Yalova University also helped us a lot. I had very few problems at Yalova University, and when I had a problem, I had great help from the staff. Thus, I spent my time here very comfortably. I am satisfied with the education I received. Real college education isn't just about the classroom. Other trainings we receive is also very important. Yalova University offers training on many different subjects. Some of the skills I developed individually at Yalova University are leadership, management and helpfulness. I was the president of the International Students' Association for 2 years and I was involved in a lot of activities before. I learned how to improve my public relations and how to talk to statesmen. Our university has so many social activities that I cannot count. But the most important was the festivals held with international students. They gathered us together and we had great activities. For example, we cooked dishes from our own local cuisine and had Turkish friends try them. If I talk in terms of daily life, you will not find the calmness of Yalova anywhere. There is Yalova Valley and there are waterfalls. The calmness of the valley and the peace it gives is really hard to compare with other places. First of all, I advise international students not to think only about their courses. The school has a lot of different activities and various training sessions in different places. Therefore, it is imperative for you to benefit from them as much as possible. Secondly, it is very important that you follow the rules. Try not to be late for any classes. When you have a problem with your residence permit or any other legal problem, I recommend you to solve it without delay. My plans after graduation are as follows: I plan to stay in Turkey for at least 5-10 years. I want to serve Turkey's international relations. There are many commercial and political problems for Turkey and the Middle East. I really want to solve them. All international students and other students, I wish you good luck in Yalova University and success in your academic and social life.
