What did you enjoy most about studying in Indonesia?
The experience of living in Indonesia while also studying there was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed studying in Indonesia because it became a lifestyle. I met excellent friends, ate delicious foods and studied in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

Why do you recommend studying in Yogyakarta / at UGM?
Yogyakarta is a city that is full of students. It's easy to meet people and make friends. Universitas Gadjah Mada was a really nice university with a large range of subjects and courses. The city is within an hour of some beautiful beaches, next to an awesome volcano and filled with culture, art and crafts. The people in Yogyakarta are friendly and caring.
