JOURNAL 2

In my opinion, being a student at METU means to have a lot of educational and social opportunities which most universities in our country can not provide. However, even METU doesn’t have totally perfection. There are three challenges I face in METU life. Firstly, at some hours impletion of shuttles increases so that campus transportation becomes useless. This situation may cause being late for classes. But, if I am not in a hurry to get to class, I mostly prefer walking. METU has a lot of pathways and shortcuts among beautiful woods to walk with pleasure. Secondly, Cafeteria is closed at weekend. I am sure I’m not the only one to have this problem and I think it should be opened everyday because prices in other cafes and restaurants generally is not suitable for must student. And the last challenge for me is fierce dogs at METU. Once while I walking through A1’s way with my boyfriend at about 11 pm and five dogs appeared suddenly, jumped us. Fortunately a couple drove through and picked up us and saved our lives. I don’t know how I can cope with this challenge but it is really irritating. Of course, METU have not only these difficulties but also advantageous aspects. One of these aspects is that we can be informed about cultural and art activities organized in Ankara early. Also we have those which are organized at METU. In addition to these cultural and art activities we also have a chance to participate to scientific conferences at the CCC (Cultural and Convention Center). And the other advantage is that we have the opportunity to obtain information in various areas with advanced written sources of the METU Library. To sum up, METU is both academically and socially most advanced university in Turkey despite its challenges.
