We all miss our morning class without regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite place on campus, and why?<\/strong><br>The hill near the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts. It feels like the highest point on campus, and from it you can see the whole city. It\u2019s also freezing up there, which I enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite Turkish food and\/or favorite part of Turkish culture?<\/strong><br>Lately I\u2019ve grown quite fond of Pide!
