International Student

Hi, my name is Mohamed and I'm currently studying Computer Programming at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University. I moved here from Palestine about 6 months ago to pursue my studies and to experience a new adventure. Before arriving, I was a bit nervous about being alone and wondered if it was safe for foreigners. However, now that I'm here, I feel like I belong and I'm even learning new languages.I was interested in studying computer engineering and programming, which was not possible for me back in Palestine. Moreover, I wanted to have a quieter university life, and my friends had recommended Bilecik as a safe and beautiful place. Since I arrived, I've been able to improve my Turkish and social life. As a foreigner, it was challenging to obtain a residence permit, but with the help of the university staff, I was able to successfully obtain one.I'm satisfied with the quality of education and academic studies at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University. One of the activities that I participated in was the culture day of foreigners, where we had the opportunity to showcase our own cultures. We danced, promoted our traditional foods, and even displayed our flags. It was a great way for everyone to learn about the diverse cultures of different countries.While living here, I've had the chance to visit Bursa, Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara. Compared to these cities, Bilecik is a much quieter and safer place for students. My advice to foreign students who plan to study here is to learn Turkish quickly and to never give up on their goals.Once I graduate, I hope to work in America. I wish success to all my friends who are taking university exams. We warmly welcome you to join us at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University's Computer Programming Department.
