I highly appreciate everything that has been done for all the participants of this program. The agenda of the program is really exciting and fun. Through the agenda, we learn not only the Indonesian language but also the culture that is diverse in Indonesia. I like learning and playing the traditional Javanese instrument with my friends. The food choices are also great and really suitable for the Korean palate. Indonesian friends who accompany us are very warm-hearted and friendly. I will never forget this experience and recommend this to my juniors.

I am really glad that I could participate in this program. I gain a whole new experience in teaching especially abroad. The agenda is very satisfying. It is compact, beneficial for me and the students and also time fulfilling. The companionship from pre-departure is appreciable. I was able to contact the lecturer in SDU for further information regarding the class and learning environment, so I could adjust and adapt well after my arrival. The whole program is very fruitful and beneficial for every parties, and highly recommend this program for my fellow students.

This program is really good for students who want to learn the culture in Indonesia especially in Java. We learn how to dance, make traditional foods and also learn Indonesian language. Other than the cultural activities that we did, we are also brought to historical places and captivating tourist destinations. I am really satisfied with the destinations that we went to. They really show the beauty of Indonesia. The companionship from the International Office and the Indonesian friends are very friendly. They welcome and help us adjust to the culture shock we encounter.

Sanata Dharma University has an excellent environment for studying and the welfare of international students is taken care of nicely. While most of the universities only provide language program for Darmasiswa students, SDU gave us the chance to have a sit-in the regular class. We were able to study other lessons other than Indonesian language and I highly appreciate it. We were also offered to participate in various field trip to get better knowledge about Indonesia.

Darmasiswa is an amazing program I have ever attended. It gives me not only a chance to learn language and culture but also bring me to explore more lives in Indonesia with enough financial support. I have so much fun living in Indonesia. It’s a whole new environment, from meeting, studying, and living with other participants and also the locals. Morever, USD’s curriculum is really beneficial and helpful for my Indonesian study. My skills in Bahasa Indoneisa have been improved so much from a non-speaker to become a quite fluent speaker. I am so delighted and proud of myself for joining this opportunity, and you will too.
