International University

My name is Abdulwahed Tawakuli. I came from Afghanistan. I am a 6th grade student at Namık Kemal University, Faculty of Medicine. After I won the medical school in my country, I came to Turkey and chose Namık Kemal University's medical faculty of my own accord. Frankly, before I came to Turkey, I didn't think the possibilities were that good. But after I arrived I realized that the possibilities were very good. This really surprised me and I am very happy right now. After coming here, I contacted the former students of the international student association here. We did our registration with them. Then I started medical school. When I started medical school, we continued our academic and scientific studies with my friends. I think I have improved myself a lot in this respect. While studying at the medical school, every student becomes an advisor. When we encounter any problems, we go directly to our professors. They also help us. I am very satisfied with the academic and scientific studies in our medical school's research hospital. I also improve myself by participating in these studies in some departments with my professors. After coming here, we participated in a wide variety of cultural, social and scientific activities and we still continue these activities. Since my Turkish was not very good in the first place when starting medical school, I improved myself a lot in terms of Turkish education. I have read many Turkish novels and history books. By participating in different cultural and social activities, I improved myself a lot in this respect. While studying at the medical school, we have elective courses. In elective courses, each student chooses different scientific or social contents and participates in them. For example, we have our football tournaments, chess games, nature walks and so on. At the same time, in our Tekirdağ international student association TUDER (Tekirdağ International Students Association), foreign students from different countries come together and socialize and have cultural exchange. We carry out these activities with the participation of other foreign students living in different cities. I went and toured other cities in Turkey. But Tekirdağ is calmer and more attractive to me than other cities. At the same time, I can communicate very comfortably and sincerely with the professors and patients in my field, in the hospital. Namık Kemal University has a high quality of education. I can say that for sure. Especially our professors and academicians in the medical faculty conduct very advanced research and their communication with students is great. That's why I recommend all departments of Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University to all our foreign students. In addition, foreign students studying at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University feel very comfortable socially and have a very comfortable lifestyle in Tekirdağ. I will take the specialty exam after I graduate and I am thinking of taking a minor specialty training after I complete my specialty education. I would recommend Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University to international students. I think they can improve themselves better in here, both academically, scientifically and socially. You can be sure that you will get a quality education here.
