Being admitted by ITS is like paying for exclusive world tour. This campus is comprised of different people from different nationalities which makes it a global community for varied learning. I have got a wonderful experience. My skills are developed, I have built my confidence. I am not able to express all of my appreciations which I have for the generosity. KNB scholarship that I have been awarded brought me a step closer to living out my dreams. I grew up in an environment where every minute is to be appreciated and valued. I considered myself blessed to be exposed to many experiences that have helped to shape me as a person.
I Wayan Wirasa Electrical Engineering Departmeny Lab Internship – Student Research Exchange Program Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), Japan
Going abroad is not only about flying out of our country. For me, it is a process to develop more skills that may be important at some point. I struggled a lot to get myself to abroad programs-lack of writing skills, have no confidence to speak in discussions, and so on. But my strong determination to be better took me there; tried the essay tutorial, watched how LGDs run, learned how to write a more appropriate email to professors and so forth-things I never thought I would learn if it wasn’t for this. I did fail many times. Then finally, I found my new self with more liberty to express myself. To be more honest to my own self.
Mochammad Soleh Marine Engineering Department Erasmus+ Student Mobility Warsaw University of Technology, Poland
Got a chance to become one of several students who was chosen to participate in Erasmus+ Student Mobility in Poland for one semester was such an unforgettable experience for me. I’ve never imagined that I could go to Europe before graduating from bachelor’s degree. Living in Europe for a semester definitely was enough to collect exceptional experiences such as meeting with new people, facing new weather, new culture, new technology, new food and also new knowledge.You will never regret your decision to take part in such programs, because it will change you to a new you. And one thing, you will always be an Indonesian wherever you go, don’t forget who you really are.
