Name:<\/strong> Araiana Ghavam Baigi <\/p>\n\n\n\n Department: <\/strong>Psychology <\/p>\n\n\n\n Country of Origin:<\/strong> Iran <\/p>\n\n\n\n What were your first impressions about Turkey? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Turkey is more free than my own country. I like the fact that I can wear whatever I want. The weather is also nice. I was 16 when I came here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you like best about Bilkent and Turkey? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, what I like about Bilkent is that it\u2019s like a completely different country. People are very open minded, more than the average person in the city. Bilkent is very academic, and I like the academic challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there any similarities between Turkey and your home country? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, definitely. The cultures are very similar and very close. I don\u2019t feel far away from home here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What will you miss most about Bilkent\/Turkey? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Definitely my professors, they\u2019re amazing. I love every inch of this place. I\u2019m really attached to Ankara because when I came here I was a teenager and I sort of grew up here. Those last teen years are memories to cherish for the rest of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite place on campus, and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s a hard question. I guess my favorite place would be right next to the B building \u2014 when you\u2019re walking towards the bus stop there\u2019s this alley. And specifically in the evenings, the view there is completely amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite Turkish food and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tavuk D\u00fcnyas\u0131 has a dish named caf\u00e9 de Paris, and the spices in this dish are on point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where do you expect to see yourself 10 years from now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m expecting to have at least a PhD. I\u2019ve been interested in classical music and how it impacts the cognitive developments in humans, and in 10 years I see myself having done some research in this area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s one thing you learned from Turkish culture? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being friendly towards animals, taking care of them, feeding them and giving them a sense of belonging is what I\u2019ve learnt from Turkish culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What places have you visited in Turkey, and which one is your favorite? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have visited most of the touristic cities of Turkey, but there is this one city called Dat\u00e7a. It has the nicest sea the nicest ocean view and the nature is immaculate. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY MAH\u0130R HASSAN M\u0130AN (ECON\/II) Name: Araiana Ghavam Baigi Department: Psychology Country of Origin: Iran What were your first impressions about Turkey?
