I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Psychology in 2016 as an honor student. I have to admit that when I was going to university for the first time, it made me very anxious to study at my dream program in English. But when I look back right now, I say "I am glad I did it". I owe my academic and social skills to my esteemed professors primarily and to Izmir University of Economics, which allowed them to touch my life.
