Kasetsart University (Thailand)

Study abroad is the single most effective way of changing the way we view the world.Ó – Chantal Mitchell

That’s true. My life has changes after I went to Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand. I spent the whole semester in foreign country that I knew nothing about the language even the alphabet.
I met amazing people from around the world, global society.
It completely switch my perspective about how I wanna build a life and give service for my beloved Indonesia.
It force me to thrive beyond my imagination.
It’s not always happy rainbow sunshine story, I have fear too. But that’s okay, It won’t stop me. It’s worth every penny because it leaves beautiful marks on my memory, on my consciousness, on my heart. It’s not only about pursuit experience study in overseas but it also a journey for my soul.
I hope someday you’ll get this chance too, so you can tell the story on your own

Life has been good to us, so don’t take it for granted. Embrace yourself to the infinity and beyond.

Singapore Management University (Singapore)

I participated in Global Summer Programme at Singapore Management University on July 2019. I believe UGM has done a very great job in encouraging me to take an international exposure opportunity as it seeks to facilitate its students with a world-class education that enables them to possess “Locally Rooted, Globally Respected” attitude. With a specific focus on participating in Double Degree Program or Exchange, it is highly likely that the programs will be effective in harnessing the ability of its students to make UGM proud on the global stage. So challenge yourself and take international exposure opportunities offered by UGM!

University of the Philippines Los Banos

I can’t be more grateful! It’s such an honour for me to be an exchange student at the University of the Philippines, Los Banos. It was an enchanting experience, and I believe that study abroad is a perfect way to step out your comfort zone. It’s a journey of self-discovery! The Philippines is a long lost sibling of Indonesia. I find quite a lot of similarity between our languages, and it was very interesting when I discussed that with my fellow Filipino Friends.

In UPLB, I also met other International students. We share culture and stories! We respect each other. Don’t get me wrong, facing such a culture and academic air shifting can be hard. Also the fact that my roommate is Japanese, and all my neighbour are foreigner, sometimes makes my tongue twisted because I have to speak English all the time! But all the struggle, it is what makes me stronger, more adaptable and more open-minded.

Study abroad is a must-do list in your early 20’s, fellas!
Cheers and find me @arinamaulinda
