Meeting Serkan
The University's editorial team spoke to Serkan earlier in the academic year, when we had the chance to ask him a few questions about his impressions of Stockholm.

[Editorial team] What is the best thing (or things) about living in Stockholm?
[Serkan] Almost everybody speaks English which makes it very easy to communicate in your daily life. You can travel to everywhere in Europe from Stockholm comfortably and cheaply.

[Team] Name three things you value about Stockholm University and say why:
[Serkan]
1. The place: It is a very beautiful city, especially in the summer.
2. The reputation: It is a good university according to the rankings but when you start studying there, you can see that the current place in the rankings is just temporary — it will climb up more.
3. The methods of teaching: Actually there is a method that makes you learn something, instead of teaching something. The interactive environment makes studying more enjoyable.

[Team] What do you like best about your course or study programme?
[Serkan] The best thing in my course is that the program wants you to learn something. The aim of my program is not to give a piece of paper which is called a diploma.

[Team] What was the biggest challenge for you in coming to Sweden/Stockholm?
[Serkan] The cost of living in Stockholm was the biggest problem for me in coming here and it still is a problem but somehow you get used to different situations. This was a challenging experience for me I can say.
