Metu and Bogazici University
Almost all high school students who would like to further their academic lives in the university search for information about the various universities of Turkey. Among many universities in Turkey, two of them are the most popular: Middle East Technical University and Bogazici University. They are considered the best. However, since both cannot be THE BEST, their specialties, facilities and locations need to be examined in detail to be able to choose the most suitable university for one's education life.

One of the areas that one should investigate is the specialties of the two universities. METU is a comparatively new university (1956). Its aim was to contribute to the development of Turkey and Middle East countries and especially to train people so as to create a skilled workforce in the fields of natural and social sciences. The first academic program to start education was the Department of Architecture. It was followed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Today, there are 37 undergraduate programs in five faculties of METU. Bogazici University, on the other hand, is a very old university (1863). Its first name was Robert College. It got its present name in 1971. It started education by giving Bachelor of Arts degree. Engineering building was built later (1912). Today, Bogazici is known to graduate students who have strong social and business skills.

The second point we would like to compare is their facilities. METU is widely recognized with its cultural and intellectual facilities. The campus houses pioneers of some clubs such as mountaineering and scuba diving clubs, which are only two of a total of 25 different social clubs that students can choose. There is an alumni society. There are two gymnasiums, 7 tennis courts, a closed and an open swimming pool. However, the campus is far from the city center; therefore, there are not many places to eat at around the campus. METU has a very good library with hard and electronic copies of

Allende portrays her main character as even more of a villain when she introduces Ezio Longo and his passionate love for Maurizia.…

Kennedy proposes that the letter grade students score in classes is irrelevant but rather the knowledge gained is what really matters (Kennedy). Teachers and student’s themselves have given letter grades a priority in education, losing sight of what is really important. Donald Caruth suggests that there has been an upward shift in grades without a corresponding upward shift in knowledge gained by students (Caruth). These 2 scholar’s proposals compliment each other, young people seem to have better grades but less knowledge to back those grades up with. If there is a notorious increase in grades, Mr.…
