Mercedeh Ghoupaei is International student at International Black Sea University.
Choosing the right university with the specific components I was looking for was both exciting and nerve-wracking, but I had been to IBSU before my enrollment for consultation and had immediately found what I was looking for.
Coming to IBSU after the pandemic felt like a much-needed return to society. The university provided a welcoming environment where I could reconnect with people and rebuild a sense of community. it was refreshing to join a place that celebrates diversity in all its forms, whether through the people you meet, the subjects you study, or the wide variety of clubs and activities on campus.
One of my favorite parts of my student experience has been meeting the array of passionate professors. Their support has made it easier for me to adjust and feel more at home.
In every aspect, IBSU has been a place of growth, learning, and community. I’m grateful for the friendships I’ve made, the mentors I’ve found, and the opportunities that continue to shape both my academic and personal journey.
