Hi, my name is Aysu <> and I'm from Turkey, and I'm taking Computer Science at the University of Guelph. I chose computer science because I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do and I thought computer science was relevant to so many subjects taht I could go anywhere with my major and I chose it in Guelph because they gave me a scholarship. Well my favourite thing is probably how challenging it is, like you have to create new things when you're creating new programs, it is just challenging and it's like solving and I love it. 

Last semester I too ka course about microcomputers which is basically lower-level assembly language coding and it was nice to see how computers work on a lower level, and the labs were challenging but also kind of fun, it taught you a lot which I loved.

Yeah I've been swimming for 10 years, I knew Guelph hada a pretty good swim team and I contacted the coach and it was no problem getting into the team and they were also so helpul for me to get used to Canada and the University and everything. I spend most of my time swimming, I mean I wake up at 5 in the morning to go to pracice and like I see the swimming team more than anyone I see anyone else so they're kind of my family here now. 

For future Gryphons who are applying to computing, I think it's a great program, it's challenging and I think they're gonna love it, yeah. For international students, Guelph community is really warm and welcoming and they're really helpful with everything and I don't think you're gonna have any problen getting used to being in Canada and studying here.
