Core Curriculum Experience: Egemen Günay

"Hello,

I am Egemen and I am a 19-year-old Turkish student at Sabancı University. I have been studying in Sabancı for a year and for the first half, I was a prep student. I was staying at the dorms during this time. I have taken part in especially SUOyuncuları(the theatre club) as a club activity this year. We have put 5 games, onto the stage this year. I was also in SUDOSK(outdoor sports club) doing bouldering.

I did know how the first year was going to be in Sabancı. That was the reason why I wanted Sabancı. I call it freeness in education, some call it postponing the decisions. I thought both were fine and this style suits me better.

I plan to study Industrial Engineering here because I am into optimizing, planning and managing processes in every part of my life. So I figured I would like to learn the advanced ways of doing so. I am also interested in Economics, Computer Science and Management as majors but I think I will just have some of my courses from them.

Of course, there has been a change in my view of the world. Although it has been just one semester, we have learned coding, math, human history, literature, Turkish history, and natural sciences. Although I cannot say math, Python, and natural sciences changed my view of the world and the environment a lot. The human history, Turkish history, and Turkish literature classes were the stars of this semester since they provide different kinds of perspectives on historical and cultural phenomena. They definitely affected the way I see myself and the spheres around me(social, cultural, environmental)."
