International Student

Hello, I'm Yasmine Ndjidda Aminatou. I am a first-year student at Istanbul Medeniyet University's Faculty of Medicine. I have been in Turkey for 3 years. I am from Cameroon. I chose Istanbul Medeniyet University because of its high educational standards and easy accessibility. Before coming to Turkey and Istanbul Medeniyet University, I was very curious about Turkish culture. I had seen Istanbul only in TV series. When I came to Turkey, I realized that Turkish people are very warm-hearted. I especially loved Istanbul. I think it is a beautiful city for both tourism and education because it has high-quality universities. I chose to study in Turkey because my sister lives here. She enrolled me and then I applied to TÖMER (Turkish Language and Foreign Language Research and Application Center). I have been studying at TÖMER for 9 months. After that, I took the foreign student exam and got accepted into the Medical School. Then I started my studies. The reason I chose the Medical Faculty is to help people and fill the gap in healthcare professionals in my country. I haven't had any problems at Istanbul Medeniyet University. I am very satisfied with the academic level of Istanbul Medeniyet University. I am very happy with the Faculty. We have excellent laboratories. Our professors are very caring and teach us well. When I came to Istanbul Medeniyet University, I started communicating with Turkish people and began to learn about the culture I was curious about. I have been to Ankara and Konya in Turkey, but Istanbul is more crowded and vibrant. Ankara and Konya are quieter compared to Istanbul. After graduating from the Medical Faculty, I want to take the Specialty Exam for Medicine (TUS). I want to become an obstetrician and gynecologist and then go back to my country to help pregnant women. I recommend Turkey and Istanbul Medeniyet University to candidates who want to come here. I really liked the education here, and Istanbul is beautiful. I wish all my friends who will take the university entrance exam success. We are waiting for all of you at Istanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine.
