Name:<\/strong> Sara Zebardast <\/p>\n\n\n\n Department:<\/strong> CTIS\/IV <\/p>\n\n\n\n Country of Origin:<\/strong> Iran <\/p>\n\n\n\n What were your first impressions about T\u00fcrkiye?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Having visited T\u00fcrkiye several times before enrolling at Bilkent, I already felt quite at home in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you like best about Bilkent and T\u00fcrkiye? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I appreciate most about Bilkent and T\u00fcrkiye is the beautiful natural environment. The campus is lovely, with purple flowers blooming everywhere in spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are there any similarities between T\u00fcrkiye and your home country? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The culture and linguistics overlap a lot. Both share a strong emphasis on family and community, making T\u00fcrkiye feel like home to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What will you miss most about Bilkent\/T\u00fcrkiye?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll miss the people at Bilkent the most. There\u2019s something special about the community of internationals we\u2019ve built here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite place on campus, and why?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love the grass area next to the running track. The sunset view from there is absolutely gorgeous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite Turkish food and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love s\u00fctl\u00fc baklava. I cherish the Turkish tradition of sharing tea and conversation as it is something I grew up with too. We often have tea at the booth, and it feels like we are in a sitcom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where do you expect to see yourself 10 years from now? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I honestly have no idea where I\u2019ll be in 10 years, and that\u2019s kind of exciting! But I hope I have built a career for myself that lets me travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s one thing you learned from Turkish culture? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The importance of hospitality\u2014Turkish people welcome everyone like family. <\/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\u2019ve travelled to many cities across T\u00fcrkiye. \u0130stanbul, \u0130zmir, Antalya, Pamukkale, etc. Though each <\/p>\n\n\n\n place has its charm, \u00c7e\u015fme is my favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love its beautiful beaches, clear blue waters and relaxed atmosphere. <\/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 How do you know Turkish so well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Describe yourself in three words. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Very complicated plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How is the studying experience at Bilkent? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s challenging but rewarding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY SA\u0130DA RUSTAMOVA (CTIS\/IV) Name: Sara Zebardast Department: CTIS\/IV Country of Origin: Iran What were your first impressions about T\u00fcrkiye?
