Merve Evliyaoglu, 23 years old, from Turkey has very special love for Macedonia. Although she has grown up in Turkey, and currently lives and works in Istanbul in the public prosecutor office, she has many friends in Skopje and great memories of MIT University where she has recently graduated.
Her decision to study abroad was brought on more or less the same reasons that are shared by young people at her age: seeking new challenges, something new and different, but solid enough to be able to build up her career and future on it. That’s why, she has chosen MIT University. As she says: “I loved that place from the very first time I entered there. I got European treatment and educational curricula for great prize. As a bonus, I got many friends and supporters that made me feel as I am at home while I was in Macedonia.“

“Being part of MIT team is the best thing that could ever happen to me. After finishing high school, I was looking for something different and unique, something that goes out of the frame and provides you with skills for the real life. Although we were the first generation of students enrolled, none of us has ever regretted for the educational choice we made. The skills gained and the trust that was built during the studies culminated with the possibility that was offered to me and one of my colleagues- to join MIT crew and the possibility to become part of rapidly evolving institution.“
MIT University is recognized for the specific programs its faculties offer: one of them is certainly the possibility to study at the Faculty of Ecological Resources Management. Simona Avramovska, a 20 years old student from Skopje, took that challenge. “It is awesome “- she says. “Finally, I can put my love for nature and ecology in something practical, avant-garde and profitable “. She is especially satisfied of the positive environment at university, as well as the attitudes and values of MIT team: supporting, creative and innovative knowledge for catalyzing positive personal and societal change.
