I grew up in Connecticut, USA. Connecticut is the complete opposite of İstanbul. It is filled with trees and farms and there are only three malls (that I know of) in the entire state. Growing up half Turkish, İstanbul always intrigued me so I took the leap of faith and came here for university and I have never been happier. Coming to Bahçeşehir honestly was probably the best and craziest decision I ever made. My first couple months consisted of many learning curves. It was not only my first time living in a city but it was also my first time fully living in a place where English wasn’t the first language. I now have friends from all over the world and my eyes have opened up to the rest of the world. I have learned not just from my classes but I have learned so much about empathy and about how different people can be from us. I learned that being different is a beautiful thing.

The international atmosphere of Bahcesehir University is actually something for everyone who came from a different culture and society trying to find a comfortable environment. It is a significant factor that helped us to get along with the university and even to meet students from all around the world, which is one of the most interesting things. However, being in Istanbul is actually one of the biggest advantages the university has considering the combination between modern, western and the eastern characteristics it is compelled of.  I’d always want to encourage students who want to have a great experience abroad to apply to Bahcesehir University, because for me, it is always going to be one of my greatest experiences ever.

When I first came to Istanbul and started at BAU 3 years ago , I was unsure about my future and anxious about the challenges I was going to face like the language barrier and cultural differences.. But Bahcesehir University gave me the support and confidence to grow both personally and professionally because of its very caring, homely and diverse environment. Apart from my study, I have been involved with various activities such as being the Head of event organization in the bahcesehir international student’s committee club (BISC)- which I was previously a part of as the Egyptians representative – as well as my work in the university’s international student’s office where I use my academic and professional skills to improve current and newly registered students lives by answering their frequently asked questions whenever I can. I am grateful to all my BAU professors , colleagues and friends who I now call FAMILY
