I went to the university with love and desire to learn, especially thanks to the support of my teacher Gazihan Alankuş and the projects we worked on together. Also, the courses helped me understand what is at the heart of software development and what I will face in my career path. During my education, we also had the opportunity to make projects together by receiving scholarships within the scope of Tübitak project. This experience taught me how to work as a team. In our graduation project, we got involved with virtual reality and virtual reality glasses were required to present the project. The University supported us; these expenses were covered by the University. I would like to express my gratitude for all of that.
