From Türkiye to ITMO: Sinem is embracing a new language, lifestyle, and future at ITMO! 🇹🇷

In today’s Student Spotlight, Sinem shares how studying abroad has not only helped her grow but also molded her into a person who is not afraid to step out of her comfort zone. On her favorite spot in St. Petersburg, this is what Sinem had to share:

Honestly, I want to say ‘anywhere in the city’ because St. Petersburg is incredibly beautiful and full of character. Every street has something, whether it’s a cozy cafe, a quiet canal, or stunning architecture. But if I had to choose one specific place, I’d say Kirov Central Park on Yelagin Island. It’s peaceful, green, and just far enough from the city buzz. It’s perfect for long walks, deep thoughts, or just doing nothing.
