Our Little Journey at ECUSTA: Friendships, Sunsets, and Medical Dreams Our little journey at ECUSTA has been wonderful so far. As first-year students preparing for our medical joining year, the university already holds a special place in our hearts. We first heard about ECUSTA through social media and mutual friends. Little did we know that joining this institution would lead us to finding each other. We have made so many memories together, and we quickly realized a profound truth about connection: "It is not about how long the friendship is, but how random people decide to be friends and how they make you feel understood and loved."

Before joining university, many of us imagined a dramatic movie scene where students walk around carrying ten books while emotional background music plays. Reality, however, was completely different. It was more like running to class with unfinished assignments, hearing someone scream, " There’s a quiz today! " five minutes before the lecture starts, and suddenly questioning every life decision that brought us there. And honestly? That is exactly what made ECUSTA unforgettable. The ECUSTA Experience: Beyond Expectations From the very beginning, the campus felt different from what we expected. The environment, the students, the atmosphere, and the experience of university life itself were far more ...
