Have you ever wondered about the mosts of Bilkent University students? What do we consume most? What do we prefer most? What do we eat mostly? When do we get ill mostly? How do we transport mostly? What do we prefer to listen most? Which sport do we like most?
Here are the mosts of Bilkent: Bilkent Students like football the most. According to the records of Sports Center football tournaments are of major interest to all students. Nearly 500 people join football tournaments every year. This number decreases in other activities. Aerobic and step is another activity Bilkent University students are interested in. There are 280 registered students for this activity. Moreover, Bilkent students like to play tennis and do fitness. There are 240 students registered in tennis courses this year. Fitness Center is the most popular place of Sports Center. On average, 100 people, visit the Fitness Center every day.
According to the records of Meteksan Bookstore we mostly buy books nowadays. As lectures have just started, this is obvious. But it is interesting to find out that the Sociology book is the most popular product of Meteksan Bookstore.
We prefer to travel mostly by car, by our own car or a friend's. There are 3500 to 4000 cars registered at Bilkent University. This is a huge number of cars compared to other universities.
Palatal taste of Bilkent University students seems to be a real national one. According to the records of Bilkent Cafeterias Unit, the total number of hamburgers, cheeseburgers and pizzas consumed equals the total consumption of döner. Döner aside, hamburger has a rate of 57%, cheeseburger has a rate 28% and pizza has a rate of 14%. On the other hand, we prefer to drink coke, which is consumed twice as much as the total of ayran (liquid yogurt), fruit juice and fresh fruit juice. 75% of the soft drink consumption is coke while ayran has a rate of 15%, fruit juice has a rate of 6.5%, and fresh fruit juice has just 3.5% share of the consumption.
Health Center staff mention that busiest times of the Center are examination periods, especially during the finals. They say that students either feel bad about the exams or request medical release reports for the examinations that they will not be able to take.
According to the Radio Bilkent DJs, there is no the most favorite among the requested songs or for the kind of music preferred in Bilkent. However, I have to say that the most requested song from the singers, who had concerts at Bilkent so far, is 'Memleketim'. Especially, Turkish pop music concerts get the biggest audience compared to other concerts on Bilkent Campus.
