                                                             “The world is out there to be explored, and it would be a pity if my ultimate goal is
                                                             just to land a job. Although it might sounds like a common comment coming from an
                                                             exchange student, learning different cultures and lifestyle in Europe really taught me a
                                                             thing about thinking globally and how to respect people regardless of their ethnicity,
                                                             religion, or even the social norms that they follow. Thanks to this program, I met new
                                                             friends from countries I never imagined to be friends with. The passion, dreams, their
                                                             personalities, and their way of thinking led me to something even greater, that was
                                                             finding truth about myself. What will I do in the future? What kind of person I am?
                                                             What contributions shall I make for my country and my fellow countrymen? Do I even
                                                             matter? Those questions were mostly answered while I walked side by side with my
                                                             friends on the snowy land of Europe. For all the things this program has taught me, to
                                                             say I’m grateful is an understatement. The feelings, the knowledge, and the genuine
                                                             camaraderie I was lucky enough to experience there will be treasured for a long time.
                                                             Thereof, for last but not the least, I would like to thank Itenas, Erasmus+ and DIKTI
                                                             for arranging this program. I do hope this program will run for a long time as well and
                                                             more people will get to experience the sensation themselves.”

                                                             a little tacky but I have to admit this is the thing I’ve been waiting for. Feel the winter

                                                             are many activities that I do besides studying, there were some campus events such as
