Yavuz Alpehlivan, Economics, SUNY New Paltz-İTÜ’18
Some desicions you give in your life have a turning point effect. I knew that I had given the right decision by choosing Economics dual diploma program offered by ITU and SUNY New Paltz. First of all, thanks to the opportunities provided by the program, you have a chance to take a step forward when you graduate. During your education in the USA, you have the opportunity to know people from different countries and different cultures. In addition to this, you have a chance to know and improve yourself. You also learn how to deal with challenges you face. Thus, you become an individual in a very short time.The projects and tasks you completed within the program make you evaluate yourself in terms of how to behave and react to situations in life. Thanks to the academic performance you give, the school provides you scholarship. Besides, with the help of student clubs and activities, the school helps you become an active and a positive individual. When you look back after graduating, you realise that you collect the best memories of your life and you turn the page to new memories and adventures. I am proud of being an alumni of both ITU which is one of the great universities of our country and SUNY New Paltz family. Forever Orange and Blue !
