The people are incredibly welcoming, and the blend of modernity and tradition makes it a unique place to explore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you like best about Bilkent and T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In T\u00fcrkiye, I appreciate the hospitality of the people. At Bilkent University, I admire the high level of academic preparation and excellent organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there any similarities between T\u00fcrkiye and your home country? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both T\u00fcrkiye and Italy have a strong sense of family and community. Food plays a central role in social life, and both cultures value historical heritage and traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What will you miss most about Bilkent\/T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I will miss the friendships I am building with Erasmus students and, in general, the welcoming atmosphere at Bilkent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite place on campus, and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The large green lawn because it offers a peaceful outdoor space to study and relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite Turkish food and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adana kebab, because it embodies the rich and diverse flavors of Turkish cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where do you expect to see yourself 10 years from now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Travelling around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s one thing you learned from Turkish culture? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The way people greet each other, which is different from Italy, and the unique cooking techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What places have you visited in T\u00fcrkiye, and which one is your favorite? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have visited Konya, Amasra and Cappadocia. Konya impressed me because it is a conservative city that reflects T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s deep history and culture. However, the most fascinating region was Cappadocia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s an interesting question or comment you hear frequently at Bilkent\/in T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever been to \u0130stanbul? What do you think about the city? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Describe yourself in three words. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Friendly, smart, helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How is the studying experience at Bilkent? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is different from Italy but very engaging. Unlike in Italy, we have quizzes, midterms and assignments that lighten the final exam load. The study workload is spread throughout the semester. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY MAH\u0130R HASSAN M\u0130AN (ECON\/III) Name: Santino Di Dio Department: Economics University: University of Naples Federico II Country of Origin: Italy What were your first impressions about T\u00fcrkiye?
