Hello! I spent 4 months in China, and I'll tell you about my most amazing experiences there.
Students of Bachelor's Program at Innopolis University (BIT SUMMER CAMP 2024)
This summer, we had a unique opportunity to participate in a summer school program at BIT. Until the last minute, we couldn't believe we were actually going to fly to China — but it happened! It turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.

That time in my life was incredibly fun and full of entertainment. It wasn't just about studying; it was the complete experience of living in another country for six months.

I had a wonderful opportunity to experience studying abroad at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. The personalized approach to international students helped me successfully integrate into the studying and allowed me to complete the semester with ease.

Never have we changed life so greatly before the exchange program.
2nd Year, Master’s
My time in ADA University (Baku, Azerbaijan) definitely exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful views of the city to the high academic standards of the university I loved my time there.
ADA being the top university in Azerbaijan gave me the chance to interact with amazing people from all over the world, participate in cool events, conferences, concerts, charity and I even got to meet Koichi Wakata a renowned Japanese astronaut since the International Astronautical Congress took place in ADA. I especially loved the IEEE Women in Engineering Panel Discussion. I had previously written several papers in Innopolis and everyone knows getting your paper in IEEE is a big deal so being with these female pioneers in the field felt great. There are many other women driven events and clubs which I was a part of.

“I always wanted to go somewhere for an Exchange programme, but I was not sure where to go. Couple of weeks before the application deadline a new university was added - the university I have chosen as my first option - The ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’” - Adela Krylova
“Until the very last moment, I was not sure if I would go for an exchange. Initially, I chose 2 universities where I would like to go for an exchange. After the deadline for the forms came and all documents were submitted, I realised that I did not like my choice of the second university, so I was only left with the first one - ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’ or ITS.” - Roman Makarov
Student of Bachelor`s Program at Innopolis University (Spring 2021-2022)
I chose Seoul National University (South Korea) mostly due to its high rankings and high quality of education that is recognized in Korea and worldwide.

I chose METU because of its reputation and high ranking in the area.

I had a chance to study with Korean students at Seoul National University (South Korea) for a short term to see how hard they study in their university.

It was a warm spring night with cherry blossom trees around, I and 20 more exchange students at KAIST (South Korea) from all around the world met on the roof of the library to drink Korean soju and sing American songs.
Student of Master's Program at Innopolis University (Fall 2020/2021)
Lectures at Sapienza University (Italy) were engaging and containing complicated topics in an easy-to-understand form.
I would recommend students who wish to go on an exchange program to take part in all possible activities which partner university can provide, visit the county of exchange, and make friends.
Student of Bachelor's Program at Innopolis University (Fall 2020/2021)
I had a chance to dive into the history of the foreign country. During the exchange at METU (Turkey), I lived with friends and one of them was Turkish. This guy showed the key places in Ankara and gave a short review of modern Turkish history. The brightest day of my exchange program was the day of Remembering Ataturk on 10th November at 9:05 AM when I met many people outside in a crowded street to see how the nation respects its father.

Hello! I spent 4 months in China, and I'll tell you about my most amazing experiences there.
The most amazing thing about China is people. First of all, the Chinese are very friendly. There were situations when I was confused and didn't even ask them for help, but they still tried to assist me. The Chinese love Russians and become even friendlier when they find out that you are from Russia. Also, it may sound a little weird, but the Chinese are also human beings. They live like we do. They experience emotions in the same way as we do. They use the same behavior patterns and have similar problems. They also like to drink beer in the evening! The only things that distinguish us are language, appearance, and place of residence. That’s it. Otherwise, they are exactly the same as we are.
The fact that I like the most is that the Chinese are very sporty. Some parks have special zones with public exercise equipment connected to screens. For example, there are two bicycles and a screen in front of them with a bike racing game. So, you can play games while doing sports. Why don’t we have this? Almost every evening, I went to the outdoor playground to play volleyball with the students. Surprisingly, the Chinese are very good at volleyball, and it was enjoyable to play with them. I made a lot of friends there. They even invited me to visit other universities to play volleyball. On one of these trips, I was able to observe the training of a player from the Chinese national volleyball team. It was super cool. Another trip was to UIBE - University of International Business and Economics. There we played with guys from Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia, the USA, Mexico, Indonesia, South Africa, France, and other countries.
Now, let's talk about Chinese food. In most cases, you can choose the level of spiciness of the dish. There, I tasted meat-flavored chips for the first time, and honestly, I wish I hadn't tasted them. But what I liked was the caramel strawberries on a stick. They are very tasty!
Another topic that I must mention is trains. They have several prices for the same train. The cheapest ticket allows you to be present only in the vestibule. You cannot enter the carriage! The second price ticket allows you to enter the carriage without the ability to sit. The third type of ticket allows you to sit in an empty seat if it is not occupied; otherwise, you should stand. The fourth ticket allows you to sit in your designated place. Often, in such trains, you can see people lying and sitting on the floor in all available spots, both in the carriage and vestibule, and you will literally not be able to find a free place to step. However, these tickets are quite cheap (especially the first-price tickets) and allow you to travel spending almost no money.
I was lucky to visit a Russian resort in China, Baidaihe. It was very nice to see the inscriptions in Russian. We also visited a Russian restaurant called "Maxim" and tasted Russian-Chinese borscht and chebureks, which turned out to be quite good.
I didn't know that the Chinese don't sunbathe or swim in the sea at all. They just come to the sea in their clothes, take pictures, and leave. When we came to the beach, we were the only ones who swam and sunbathed. The Chinese looked at us as if we were some kinds of savages.
What did I gain from the exchange program?
Unforgettable experiences and memories for a lifetime. Friends from China, Indonesia, and Malaysia. An understanding that our world is much wider than I thought. The desire to participate in the exchange program again. Despite the difficulties at the beginning, I do not regret participating in the exchange program at all.
Here are my top 10 experiences: Climbing the Great Wall of China. Playing volleyball with BIT students. Visit to UIBE. Participating in the BIT Culture Festival. Visit to the Russian Embassy in China. Disco at the local bar. Visit to the Beijing Olympic Park. Visit to Dragon Gorge. Trip to Tianjin. Trip to the Russian resort of Baidaihe.

July in Beijing
This summer, we had a unique opportunity to participate in a summer school program at BIT. Until the last minute, we couldn't believe we were actually going to fly to China — but it happened! It turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
To start, when we arrived, we quickly realized that English wouldn’t be very helpful for communicating with the locals. We only knew two words in Chinese: "thank you" (xièxie) and "hello" (nǐhǎo). However, thanks to the "Chinese Language and Multicultural Practice" program we chose, we began learning Chinese and immersing ourselves in the life of Beijing. We also received support from BIT volunteers, teachers, and fellow students who attended the summer school with us. During our classes, we learned about the Chinese language and culture. We also participated in a "Cultural Experience" format, which included activities like Calligraphy, Lacquer Fan making, and Paper Cutting, where we practiced traditional Chinese techniques.
Exciting trips were organized as part of the program, including visits to the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, Olympic Park, and the Temple of Heaven. We also explored the city on our own, discovering places like Tea Street, Dragon Gorge, the Ferris wheel, shopping on Wafujing, the business center and Beijing Pants, the zoo with pandas, the 798 Art District, Chinese opera, the Lama Temple, the pearl market, and many other fascinating spots.
What stands out is that our most unforgettable experiences were the ones that cost us the least. Here are our top five:
1. Riding bicycles around downtown Beijing at night
2. Eating shrimp dumplings at a randomly found café
3. Playing football at 9:00 pm on the BIT campus with students from different countries
4. Catching a free concert by a Chinese man and listening to love songs in the 798 Art District
5. Running through the subway station with our international friends to catch the last train
This trip will always be memorable for us, and it will remind us of our time in Beijing for years to come. We are incredibly grateful that Innopolis University gave us this amazing opportunity to experience another country and culture.

That time in my life was incredibly fun and full of entertainment. It wasn't just about studying; it was the complete experience of living in another country for six months. The living conditions were comfortable—we stayed in a typical Serbian dorm, which was quite similar to those at Russian universities. Interestingly, our dorm offers us Professors' rooms that felt more like the ones we’d find at Innopolis.
Belgrade itself is a true European city, meaning there’s always something happening. Every day, there were countless events to choose from: polyglot cafés, the KST studio (a nightclub and bar located right inside a faculty building), and comedy open mics. The people of Belgrade are friendly, with many speaking good English and being open to conversations, which made it easy for me to connect with locals. The word “Polako” which means “slowly” or “relaxed” in Serbian, perfectly captures the local vibe. Everything in Serbia “Polako”, but in a good way. Shopping malls stay open until the very last minute, but you never have to show your documents at the bar or to the police.
There were also plenty of opportunities for work and self-improvement. Labs and classes were in Serbian, and we didn’t have to attend them, so we were left only with exams and a lot of free time. This gave us ample opportunities to travel, work, or start new hobbies. I began practicing stand-up comedy and participated in many open mics and comedy events every week. I was also fortunate to discover a large community of Russian people in Serbia, around 150,000, making up about 5-10% of Belgrade’s population.
Overall, it was a really positive experience. My time in Belgrade has shown me that it’s not just a great place to visit but a truly wonderful place to live. It has become almost like a second home to me, and I genuinely look forward to returning someday to continue living here.

This summer, I had one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life - an exchange trip to Beijing Institute of Technology for a 1-month Chinese Language and Multicultural Practice summer program.
The program was a delightful mix of cultural immersion, language learning, and travel. Our classes were a joy — we sang Chinese songs, practiced calligraphy, unraveled the intricacies of the Chinese language, and bonded over countless conversations.
But what I cherish the most are the people I met. I connected with students from all over the world — Britain, Spain, USA, Hungary, Poland, Belarus, South Korea, Germany, and even Australia! Together, we explored Beijing, ventured to nearby cities and mountains, went boating, shared stories, exchanged gifts, and continue to stay in touch.
I visited so many incredible places: the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Long Qing Xia mountains, Tianjin, and many more breathtaking spots.
And oh, the food! I’ve never had rice as delicious as in China. The variety of unique dishes, like duck blood, was fascinating. The food in China is so healthy - lots of vegetables, quality meat, and hearty portions. I fell in love with their cuisine!
Many thanks to Innopolis University for giving me the chance to experience a completely different, yet utterly amazing world!
Hello! I spent 4 months in China, and I'll tell you about my most amazing experiences there.
This summer, we had a unique opportunity to participate in a summer school program at BIT. Until the last minute, we couldn't believe we were actually going to fly to China — but it happened! It turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
That time in my life was incredibly fun and full of entertainment. It wasn't just about studying; it was the complete experience of living in another country for six months.
What exchange is for me? It's easier to say what it is not. I went in knowing that it would be a one-of-a-kind experience, and I ended up getting even more.
I had a wonderful opportunity to experience studying abroad at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. The personalized approach to international students helped me successfully integrate into the studying and allowed me to complete the semester with ease.
Never have we changed life so greatly before the exchange program.
My time in ADA University (Baku, Azerbaijan) definitely exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful views of the city to the high academic standards of the university I loved my time there.
ADA being the top university in Azerbaijan gave me the chance to interact with amazing people from all over the world, participate in cool events, conferences, concerts, charity and I even got to meet Koichi Wakata a renowned Japanese astronaut since the International Astronautical Congress took place in ADA. I especially loved the IEEE Women in Engineering Panel Discussion. I had previously written several papers in Innopolis and everyone knows getting your paper in IEEE is a big deal so being with these female pioneers in the field felt great. There are many other women driven events and clubs which I was a part of.
“I always wanted to go somewhere for an Exchange programme, but I was not sure where to go. Couple of weeks before the application deadline a new university was added - the university I have chosen as my first option - The ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’” - Adela Krylova
“Until the very last moment, I was not sure if I would go for an exchange. Initially, I chose 2 universities where I would like to go for an exchange. After the deadline for the forms came and all documents were submitted, I realised that I did not like my choice of the second university, so I was only left with the first one - ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’ or ITS.” - Roman Makarov
I chose Seoul National University (South Korea) mostly due to its high rankings and high quality of education that is recognized in Korea and worldwide.
Though my exchange at Luxembourg University was affected by COVID-19, I would still say it was amazing
I had a chance to study with Korean students at Seoul National University (South Korea) for a short term to see how hard they study in their university.

What exchange is for me? It's easier to say what it is not. I went in knowing that it would be a one-of-a-kind experience, and I ended up getting even more.
Did you know that Iranian people dry pancakes on lamps? (of course they are not) Or maybe it’s just my roommate. Regardless, what you truly gain is an amazing experience of meeting new people from completely different cultures and backgrounds.
The most amazing thing about China is the people. Not only are they extremely happy when they find out you are from Russia, but they are also generally very outgoing and talkative (though not in English, but there are exceptions). I exchanged gifts with one of my newfound Chinese friends; she sent me a gorgeous tea set. I even got introduced to modern Chinese meme culture, which is a little… unusual. It’s harder for Chinese people to learn English, which is why they a little disconnected from the outside world: they don’t follow trends, they create their own! This is something very special about China—they retain their own identity and culture.
As a foreigner, I often feel like I’m on another planet. There’s an ancient city almost in the middle of Beijing (the Forbidden City), a giant Buddha statue standing about 71 meters tall (the Leshan Giant Buddha), and mountains that Chinese Grandmas stroll up as morning exercise (there are many!). Each Chinese city I visit has something unique to offer.
Are you a lover of cute pandas? Chengdu is your place. Want to visit a city where skyscrapers grow instead of trees? Shanghai is ready to offer the highest observation point in the world. Want to get closer to Chinese history? Beijing, with its numerous parks, Ming tombs, and the Summer Palace, is a great choice.
Student life here is very dynamic. The Beijing Institute of Technology organizes many cool events. For instance, at the cultural festival, you have the opportunity to meet people from over 30 countries in just one day, taste their local food and drinks, play games, and more. How about an entire music concert? We had two—one in front of the lake where any student was welcome to perform. The second was much bigger; students filled the entire football field and enjoyed various Chinese bands.
You know that feeling when you’ve just watched something really good, and you want to forget it and watch it again and again? It’s the same here, but you don’t really want to forget it; you just want to repeat it because every time will be unique.

I had a wonderful opportunity to experience studying abroad at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. The personalized approach to international students helped me successfully integrate into the studying and allowed me to complete the semester with ease. The stunning locations in Serbia, including Subotica, Novi Sad, and Belgrade itself, along with affordable flights and direct buses to neighboring European countries, diversified my entire study experience from start to finish. The exchange program provided me with a fantastic opportunity to change the scenery of my everyday life and studies at Innopolis University. The wide range of travel options and extracurricular activities filled me with enthusiasm and allowed me to make many heartwarming connections with other students. Obtained experience, with local cuisine, atmosphere, and breathtaking views of nature and architecture, will probably become some of the most cherished memories of my student life.

China was like a new world for us: new language, new people, exotic culture, stunning infrastructure.
We studied in Beijing – in Beijing Institute of Technology.
The campus of the university is really huge! Everybody travels by bicycles around it (and by the way, not only on campus, but also all around the cities in China), and you can easily rent them.
The teachers and other students were very open and kind to us, but it's not just about the university environment, but about the Chinese community in general. We have made a lot of Chinese friends. And, of course, we had a great opportunity to practice Chinese!
Not only people are friendly in China, but also animals! Here you may have a chance to see peculiar lamas, 可爱的 pandas, and a lot of cats.
During our 4-month journey, we visited many Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Hefei, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guilin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. Most of them are highly advanced and progressive. Each city has its own atmosphere and style.
China is unique for its electric cars, trains moving almost at the speed of a plane, and other fascinating things. In Shenzhen, we visited a huge center with every kind of electronics and gadgets you can think of.
Chinese food is a topic of a separate discussion, but to make it short, it will not leave you indifferent! Even though it has been over a month, I still really miss some of the dishes and think it was really tasty and healthy.
The history of China is ancient and diverse - there are a lot of different sights and most of them are really amazing. China is great not only for historical places or modern technological sights, but also for natural sights - there are a lot of picturesque places in China.
These outstanding places are worth visiting at least once - you must go and see and feel it for yourself!

2nd Year, Master’s
In terms of academics, the professors were distinguished and lectures were interactive. The campus is definitely bigger than what I was used to in Innopolis but it made the whole experience more adventurous. But outside the classrooms, the campus also had a huge library and a botanical garden that were such wonderful places to study. I even had the chance to take an Azerbaijani course for the duration I was there and learnt a bit of the language.
There was also the Baku Jazz Fest that was absolutely incredible. I got to spend time with other exchange students from Japan, France, Italy, Pakistan, Lebanon, Tajikistan, Algeria and so much more. We created for ourselves a loving and supportive friend group and could study together, visit cultural sites and museums, as well as explore other regions of Azerbaijan together.
I also had the support of the ESN (Erasmus Student Network), they organized lots of trips, events and much more. With ESN I made my first acrylic painting on canvas, watched my first live proper football match of Azerbaijan vs Austria, I attended a beautiful orchestra concert. All of these were free as a perk of being an ADA student.
This community was even cooler because I lived in the univerium, a very safe facility that houses students from several universities, not just ADA. It has a sports hall inside, canteen, lounge zone, study rooms on every floor and much more. Although there were disadvantages compared to living in a proper dorm or an apartment. Univerium does not allow cooking, and I really wanted the chance to cook with my friends so we rented apartments some evenings :) You just need an Azerbaijani friend and the process will be smooth.
I will definitely miss doner and azerchay but not Baku wind :) If you thought Innopolis was windy, wait till you go to Baku!

In several months we learnt that we are the first students from IU, who will take part in the Student Exchange programme at ITS.
Right after our arrival we understood that Indonesia is not only Bali, and Surabaya is far from a tropical paradise. We spent most of our time in Indonesia on Java Island. The International relations Office organized numerous events for Exchange students, so that we could learn more about Indonesian culture and have a smoother adaptation process. For example, we spent 3 days in a local village, we saw a sunrise over magnificent Mt. Bromo and tasted many local foods.
In the eastern Java region foreigners are rare guests, so local people were amazed to see us. The university staff was very nice to us, they were interested about our university and life in Russia. Moreover, they wanted us to explore their traditions and culture, so we were often invited to join public events or just to try traditional food. One of ITS professors even invited us to join his family for dinner.
The studying process was well-organized, and we had numerous holidays due to several Muslim celebrations, so there was enough time to both study and travel in the course of this program.
Overall, thanks to the Exchange programme we gained new experience in our study field, learnt a lot about Asian culture, different religions and met a lot of motivating people.

Student of Bachelor`s Program at Innopolis University (Spring 2021-2022)
I chose Seoul National University mostly due to its high rankings and high quality of education that is recognized in Korea and worldwide. It was the first time I was traveling outside Russia, so I was interested to check how people live in other countries.
SNU offers some courses in English, but not so many. Hence, you will most probably take some master`s courses. I found them much more difficult than Innopolis courses and that’s why I took 5 instead of 6. Nevertheless, I should admit that I gained lots of practice-oriented information from the courses.
As to the accommodation, the results of the dormitory application for the bachelors were announced two weeks prior to the semester; one needs to keep that in mind before travelling. It will also be useful to know in advance that usual apartments will be much more expensive than dormitory rooms.
Initially, COVID-19 restrictions affected me a lot, however by the end of the semester almost all of them were eliminated.
The places I would recommend visiting in Seoul are Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Tower, Seoul Zoo, Cheonggyecheon Park, National Museum of Korea and any animal cafe you prefer.
About Korean cuisine: it is very spicy, so be ready for that.
Overall, I would say that it is a very nice country to visit for one semester. Education there is worth all the challenges I had before and during the exchange.

Though my exchange at Luxembourg University was affected by COVID-19, I would still say it was amazing
I had a chance to study with Korean students at Seoul National University (South Korea) for a short term to see how hard they study in their university.
It was a warm spring night with cherry blossom trees around, I and 20 more exchange students at KAIST (South Korea) from all around the world met on the roof of the library to drink Korean soju and sing American songs.
Lectures at Sapienza University (Italy) were engaging and containing complicated topics in an easy-to-understand form.
I would recommend students who wish to go on an exchange program to take part in all possible activities which partner university can provide, visit the county of exchange, and make friends.
I had a chance to dive into the history of the foreign country. During the exchange at METU (Turkey), I lived with friends and one of them was Turkish. This guy showed the key places in Ankara and gave a short review of modern Turkish history.

Student of Bachelor`s Program at Innopolis University (Spring 2020-2021)
I chose METU because of its reputation and high ranking in the area, as well as my will to visit Turkey and enjoy their food. Additionally, the university is entirely in English, so there wouldn't be too many communication problems.
The administrative process was extremely well organized. Everything was communicated on time and our emails get answered on the same day. The quality of education and its organization were great. It was under lockdown for most of the time I spent there, so I couldn't travel anywhere.
The most valuable part of the program was the new friendships I made in Turkey. The exchange program increased my self-confidence and made me feel I am capable of more than I thought.
My advice to the students who plan their exchange semester is to contact people from the receiving institute first because they can have important insights. Making friends with the locals will also help you a lot during your stay.
Hello! I spent 4 months in China, and I'll tell you about my most amazing experiences there.
This summer, we had a unique opportunity to participate in a summer school program at BIT. Until the last minute, we couldn't believe we were actually going to fly to China — but it happened! It turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
That time in my life was incredibly fun and full of entertainment. It wasn't just about studying; it was the complete experience of living in another country for six months.
This summer, I had one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life - an exchange trip to Beijing Institute of Technology for a 1-month Chinese Language and Multicultural Practice summer program.
What exchange is for me? It's easier to say what it is not. I went in knowing that it would be a one-of-a-kind experience, and I ended up getting even more.
I had a wonderful opportunity to experience studying abroad at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. The personalized approach to international students helped me successfully integrate into the studying and allowed me to complete the semester with ease.
Never have we changed life so greatly before the exchange program.
My time in ADA University (Baku, Azerbaijan) definitely exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful views of the city to the high academic standards of the university I loved my time there.

I chose the University of Luxembourg because it was funded by an Erasmus+ program; also, I have a friend who lives there.
Though my exchange was affected by COVID-19, I would still say it was amazing. I met wonderful people, learned a lot of new things, visited a lot of places. I even did skydiving.
There are lots of events, sports classes, dancing classes and acting classes where you can meet new people. There is an event called "Ideation Camp". Here you can show your entrepreneurship skills.
Students who apply for an exchange program need to be sure. I had to stay in Luxembourg due to COVID restrictions. Be prepared for any kind of problems or situations and always rely on yourself.
Luxembourg has the best canteens that have a variety of food and it`s very cheap. Unfortunately, due to COVID, everything was closed during my stay in the country.”

I had a chance to study with Korean students for a short term to see how hard they study in their university
I love traveling. Visiting a new country and meeting new culture always amazed me. So, the main reason for applying to an exchange program was to see the beautiful and technological city of Seoul. Moreover, I had a chance to study with Korean students for a short term to see how hard they study in their university. My choice of SNU was determined by its ranking and its prestige in the field of engineering.
SNU does not offer bachelor's courses in English, so you have to take a Master's course. Since SNU is one of the best universities in Korea in engineering, I found those courses too hard. That is why we took only 4 courses and decided to take the rest at IU.
Because of COVID19, I could not travel much. But during the summer, I tried to visit some popular places in Seoul.
The exchange program helps a student to come out from his/her comfort zone and embark upon new adventures. I encourage everyone to participate in an exchange program and have a chance to visit one of the partner universities of IU to exchange their knowledge with students all over the world. One more thing: be aware of Korean cuisine as it differs from what we are used to here.
I want to express my gratitude to IRO specialists for following my application process step by step and answering all my questions on time.

Sapienza University is one of the largest European universities by enrollments and one of the oldest in history, founded in 1303. The University is one of the most prestigious Italian universities and in the world, commonly ranking first in national rankings and Southern Europe. This was the reason for which I chose Sapienza University. The administrative process there was organized smoothly and easy to understand. Students of Sapienza have the platform for uploading all necessary documents for an exchange program. The International offices of both universities are ready to answer all student's questions. The organization of online lectures was amazing; all materials were available online. Lectures were engaging and containing complicated topics in an easy-to-understand form.
Because of the pandemic situation, I could not visit the county. Even though the communication with people was online, it remained in my memory as one of the most interesting moments. We had the team projects. We were making zoom calls with my teammates, first to get to know each other and the background of each person. Then we were working on developing MLP and RBF neural network with optimization of its training error function, for which we got the full point.

The brightest day of my exchange program was the day of Remembering Ataturk on 10th November at 9:05 AM when I met many people outside in a crowded street to see how the nation respects its father.
I chose METU for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it had the best-matched courses with my program at IU. Secondly, the climate is nice. Due to the pandemic, the Fall semester started on the 10th of October, and at that time the sea temperature and the weather could allow you to swim for around an hour in water and sunbathe after that. The sunshine gives you so much energy for routine things. 99% of the time in Ankara you have sunny weather.
The assignee from the international cooperation office keeps in touch with you throughout the whole period of your exchange. They take care of all the administrative issues and give comprehensive instructions on how to live in their country, how to obtain a residence permit (which is a must to stay) etc.

The things I would advise one to be familiar with before visiting Turkey: to know about major historical facts of the Turkish nation and national holidays; to learn about Çiğ köfte and Pekmez, try them.
