International Student

My name is Oumar Sacko. I am a third year student in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. I come from Guinea and have been living in Bandırma, Turkey for 3 years. I found the tuition fee of Bandirma Onyedi Eylul University to be affordable compared to many state universities. Secondly, since Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University is a new university established in 2015, I think that the buildings and teaching materials inside are modern. Thirdly, since the city where our university is located is a small city, I can get up in the morning to do all my work and return home comfortably. For these reasons, I chose Bandirma Onyedi Eylul University. Before I came here, I was most afraid of the language. Because I tried to learn a foreign language other than French in Guinea, but I could not. That's why I was afraid to learn another language. I said to myself you can do it and I came and tried it. Now I can speak Turkish fairly well. Before coming here, I first did some research on Turkey. I had a friend who lived here. I contacted him and said that I wanted to come to Turkey and he helped me. After that, I sent all my documents to my friend, I couldn't apply on my own because I didn't speak Turkish. He applied on my behalf. Then, after I got the acceptance letter, I went to the Turkish consulate, handled all the paperwork, and came here.
