Studying Abroad Is Not an Escape, It’s a School of Life

Volkan Cerrahoğlu hosts Naz Ertaş, Vice President of the Liseli Büyükelçiler Alumni Association.

From Naz’s 10-month transformation journey in Canada to her studies at Koç University; from the strong bonds that continue long after graduation to an alumni network expanding across Turkey and the world—this episode explores a range of inspiring themes.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that studying abroad is not an escape, but a pathway to taking responsibility, growing stronger, and returning home better prepared for the future.

Naz’s experiences in Canada, her steps toward independence, and the responsibilities she assumed within the community offer valuable insights for both parents and prospective students.
