Testimonial

“I first heard about the exchange program by chance when I came across with an Eastern Illinois student, I met just as I was returning from studying abroad in İzmir, Turkey. I knew I wanted to come to Eastern Mediterranean University from then on because I love the Turkish language, history, and culture. I decided to do a research project while I was studying here. And so, I wrote an undergraduate thesis on the connection between my two favorite subjects (and my double majors) foreign language and international relations. While gathering data for my thesis and attending my classes on campus, I had a chance to meet so many incredible people and learn so much about the fascinating history of this island. I really appreciated the EMU Student Exchange Office for giving me these opportunities."

“Being very diverse, open-minded & socially outgoing, my student exchange to Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois (USA) is definitely the most memorable experience in my undergraduate studies. Not only did I learn new management contexts from a different world perspective with passionate professors, I got the chance to meet, connect & network with various industry professionals hence building a solid background necessary for my career in international business in addition to quenching my thirst for traveling states like Massachusetts, Minneapolis, Chicago... you name it! I am very thankful for EMU's Student Exchange Office's impeccable guidance & support before, during, and after my exchange semester as they cared about how I fared & were always a text away regarding anything I brought to their attention. Forever grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent my school internationally & would most definitely do it again!!"
