We are very happy to be at EMU. We were hosted well and we are very happy to hear that a Department of Typography is going to be founded. We are the only high school in the TRNC with a typography department. Because there isn’t a university in the TRNC with a typography department our graduates had to go to Turkey or other countries to continue their education. To hear that EMU is going to set up a typography department will provide our students strength and motivation. Our students watched the work being carried out in EMU’s printing office very carefully. We hope that the people working here in the future will be our students. This would make us very happy and satisfied.

I really liked EMU. It is a very good university at which I think we can receive a very good education. The university can contribute to our future careers. If EMU sets up a Department of Typography and job opportunities present themselves off course I would like to stay in the TRNC.
