Hi, I’m Yaprak Nil!
I’m currently a 2nd-year student studying Economics at City, University of London. Originally from Turkey, I lived there until I started university here in the UK. Moving to London was a big change, but it has been an exciting journey full of new experiences and opportunities!
I’m passionate about finance and my goal is to work in the financial industry, with the dream of eventually owning my own company. City’s diverse community and strong focus on real-world skills have been helping me prepare for this future, and I’m excited to share my experiences with you.
Outside of academics, I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I’m also an avid reader and enjoy exploring different genres. Whether it’s discussing career paths, student life in London, or just finding the best study spots on campus, I’m here to help!
Feel free to ask me any questions about studying at City, University of London or anything else that’s on your mind!

A passion I have developed this summer is for travelling Europe. I never realised how much countries and fun things there are to do! It`s a great way to meet new people and try different cuisines and experience new cultures! So after finishing my degree I hope to travel a bit more, and then go into the career of accountancy.
