ACMUN 2020 was a great experience. This year was Anatolia’s 15th anniversary. I believe that Anatolia was well prepared and organized being also punctual on its schedules. Anyone could realize that everything was in order, the admin staff was extremely helpful and the classes, where each committee was waiting for the delegates. Food was amazing and every time I entered the Cafeteria, I felt like I was in a hotel. Everything was clean, the food was high-quality and the service was also helpful. I am looking forward to going again to ACMUN next year. I suggest everyone that wants to participate in a MUN go to ACMUN.

I have recently participated in the 15th ACMUN as a delegate of Switzerland in the Legal Committee (GA6). It was my first time and everything seemed to be very challenging and also demanding. Through exhaustive research, I learned about current issues concerning the global community, such as the DNA databases, which I had never heard of before. At the conference, what I really enjoyed the most was the negotiations during unmoderated caucus. I also had the opportunity to meet students from other countries and make new friends. All in all, taking part in the 15th ACMUN was a unique experience for me and I would like to participate again in the future.

ACMUN was a delightful experience. Even though it was tiring to be there 7-8 hours each day for 3 days and just hear other delegates and you talking about a specific topic and speaking only in English, it was unique. I made some new friends; I had the opportunity to discuss really important problems with my fellow delegates but I had a little fun also. If someone was late and had not entered each meeting in time, he was obliged to dance. It was really fun. Generally, it was something new but amazing and I would definitely do it again. I really look forward to next year’s ACMUN.

To start with, I would like to say that ACMUN was one of the most special and amazing experiences which I have ever participated in. I have to admit that, at first, I was nervous and even afraid because I didn’t know what should I expect from such a conference. But as the days passed, I was impressed of how great it is to take part at an MUN. Even though I didn’t have the chance to deliver a speech many times, the ones which I did, made me feel very confident and I knew exactly what I was expecting from myself. I believe that this experience has only positive results for anyone who would like to participate. The only disadvantage is that we were about to spend more than the half of our day there and it has at times been hard and tiring for us to follow. To sum up, I claim that ACMUN was an experience which I only gained from and I will never forget!
