I'm pleased to say that Bilkent University's ample sports opportunities motivated me to become heavily involved in fitness and fitboxing. Through the Bilkent Sports Center, I had the supervision of professional trainers who helped move sports from being just a hobby or casual interest, to become a significant part of my world. Of course, the Bilkent Sports Center offers the popular sports like football, tennis or fitness. However, they also have activities that you may not expect, like bowling, horseback riding and orienteering. Best of all, activity times are flexible and sports facilities are easy to book. I am now a postgraduate, and thanks to Bilkent, sports have become the `sine qua non` of my life. I urge all Bilkent students to take advantage of the opportunities being given to them and get involved in the rich selection of sports and exercise programs on offer.
I wish you all the best in your studies, but remind you of the importance in balancing hard work with fun and exercise. Take part in one of the many Bilkent Sport Center's activities. You'll be glad
you did.
