The Physical Education and Sports Center recently gave three
Bilkent students a pleasant surprise. The three students who were found to have used the
Student Dormitories Sports Center the most times each received a gift. Bilkent News
interviewed these three devoted athletes to find out what motivates them to keep up with
their fitness routines, and what they think about the sports center.
Eda Yaman (Graduate School of Education):
I believe the Student Dormitories Sports Hall is one of the great benefits that Bilkent
University offers. I'm an M.A. student, and I can hardly find any time to spare for
myself. The time I spend at the center is the only opportunity I have to forget my heavy
schedule and reinvigorate myself so that I can handle my workload. I know that most
students in all departments at Bilkent have similar workloads. However, I don't think that
sparing an hour or an hour and a half a day for sports is a big deal. You don't waste your
time by keeping fit. On the contrary, you get stronger and better able to cope with your
academic work. This is my last year here, and I know that one of the things I'll miss is
the chance to use a sports facility like this one. My advice is, don't hesitate to take
advantage of an opportunity like this!
Ahmetcan Yakar (MAN/I):
This is a superb sports center. The equipment is far better than that available in other
sport centers I've been to. The only thing lacking is a swimming pool. Apart from that,
you can find anything you might want. I do body building at least four days a week, and
it’s a great source of motivation and happiness for me to have good training facilities.
Also, the trainers here ensure that no one trains incorrectly, so it’s also a safe place
to work out. The center is clean, and you can meet nice people from our school there.
Self-confidence and endurance, as well as enjoyment, are some of the benefits you can get
by taking advantage of this opportunity.
Yaşar Eren (CS/I):
I usually play basketball, and I love playing it. I try to exercise whenever I have any
free time. Being able to use a sports facility like this one is a great opportunity for
me.
