Why do you recommend studying in Indonesia / Yogyakarta / and at UGM? 
I loved how most people in Yogyakarta were friendly. I enjoyed the cheap food and accommodation, and had lots of fun tasting all the new foods! There is a nice vibe in NorthYogya because of all the students who live there. I stayed in a quiet kampung very close to my University, on Jalan Kaliurang. It was great because I was close to the supermarket, internet cafe's, laundromats and printing/photocopying shops. Because there were no other Australians at my boarding house (kos), I was able to practise Indonesian heaps!
