Ufuk Arslan, Information Systems Engineering, Binghamton University - ITU '09
When I was graduated from high school, I looked for new and different challenges and opportunities that would push me further. When I learned of the Dual Diploma program between State University of New York and Istanbul technical University, I was ready to be member of this great and distinguished family.
I immediately realized after enrolling that the DDP was beyond my expectations both in educational and social manner. During those four amazing years, I was given the opportunity to meet with different people, different cultures and perspectives that helped me have the courage to create my own business after I graduated. Technical abilities and strong skills such as vision, bravery and the ability to try new things gave me the inspiration to create a new brand called Mobilist in this challenging IT world. I know that DDP gave me the courage and strength to overcome the biggest challenges of my life.
It was not just the education and skills that this program helped me to achieve, but the friendships that I had and all the fun I had in all these years. When I see the results I can definitely say that enrolling in the DDP was the one of the best decisions I have ever made.
