BEING A STUDENT AT METU

BEING A STUDENT IN METU FOR ME ;
I am a sophomore student in METU. I also had some adaptation problems last year . I had some regret about proficiency exam, sometimes I think that I should not have taken this exam and studied at prep-school. The reason of it is that our department courses are so difficult and it requires to have some preparation. I really can not understand why we have so overloaded courses. I love other universities’ curriculum more than ours, for example, I do not see any necessity literature course at the first term which we have. At high school, we focused on grammar lesson, so we need to have more listening and writing lesson at the very beginning of the university in order to manage literature lessons. What I want to tell is that our curriculum should be easier than that of we have now. Only with this, maybe I can feel a university student, otherwise we can not see any differences between high school and university.
Another thing I want to mention is our campus life. It is really perfect. We can access most of the thins which we want to have. There are a lot of social activities, sport facilities, student groups etc. For this aspect, I can not see any other university which can be equal with ours. We can make a lot of friends and this makes us to get used to school and see it perfect.
The other point, maybe for most of us it is a problem, is being have to live without family. I also studied high school in dormitory so it did not matter for me very much. On the contrary, METU showed me that I am free and this made me more confident. In here, we have to do our works ourselves without any help most of time. This prepare us to real life.
As a consequent, I love METU very much. I love it’s campus, I love it’s dormitory life, I love it’s student groups, I love it’s spring festival and so on. It can not satisfy me only it’s overloaded courses. Apart from that, I often tell I LOVE MY UNIVERSITY...
