Source language: Turkish

bu üniversitede okumayı istememin nedeni verdiği iyi eğitim ve öğretmenleriydi.Mimarlık sınavına girmeden önce okul hakkındada araştırma yapmıştım. Zaten bu üniversitede okuyan arkadaşlarımdanda aldığım bilgiler vardı.Kısacası hedefime ulaşmak için bana yardımcı olacağına inanıyorum.Kendimede bu konuda güveniyorum.

Title
The reason why I want to study in this university
Translation
English

Translated by cheesecake
Target language: English

The reasons that made me want to study in this university were the good education it offers and its professors. I had done some research on the university before I took the architecture examination. Besides, I've already had information from my friends who studied in this university. Shortly, I believe it will help me reach my goal. I am sure of myself regarding this matter.
Remarks about the translation
There is an ambiguity in the last sentence; what will be helpful to her is not obvious ( it might be a person, studying in a university, the information that she gets etc.) but most probably it should be "studying in a university" and I translate it accordingly.

I'd still suggest some changes:

The reasons that made me want to study in this university were the good education (-) it offers and its professors. I had done some research on the university before I took the architecture examination. Besides, I've had/gotten information (-) from some of my friends (some friends of mine) who (have ? ) studied in this university. Shortly, I believe (-) it will help me (-) reach my goal. I am certain about that.

Tell me if it conveys the meaning

Thank you it seems great
Only the last sentence actually tells that "I have self confidence (about the matter)/ I am sure of myself" because "I am certain about that" might change the meaning a little bit. Is my suggestion wrong with English?

You may choose between "I've had" and "I've gotten"

the friends ---> some friends (or simply "friends" )

I am sure of myself about the matter

Either you are sure of yourself or you are sure about the matter

Another option would be:
"I am sure of myself regarding this matter"

made me or did me ?
....some research on the university...> some reconnoitre on this university

made me
reconnoitre not very usual and used in a military sense: reconnoitre the enemy's position in a war. It doesn't fit here, merdogan.
Thanks anyway.

hello

just a tiny suggestion of adding a single word: "already" to mean "zaten"


Besides, I've alredy had information from my friends who studied in this university....
