Winter’s Here!
Don't be surprised if
you wake up to a knee-deep snowfall one of these mornings, now that
winter is around the corner. If this happens on a weekday, don't just
stay in bed! Instead, turn the radio on and tune in to Radio Bilkent
96.6 FM, or check the Bilkent website at
www.bilkent.edu.tr, to find out
if classes have been postponed or cancelled. You can also contact the
Bilkent central switchboard at 290-4000. Morning classes are
occasionally cancelled when there is a heavy snowfall.
Also, Bilkent drivers are
strongly advised to winterize their cars and to get chains and/or snow
tires for their vehicles if they do not already have them.
