I am thankful to God that I was able to study abroad in South Korea. To be awarded with the Government Korean Scholarship was like a dream come true. My decision to study abroad was one of my best decisions that I won’t ever regret. Like most people, studying abroad has always been my dream. I want to go outside of my comfort zone and experience the real world. Through this experience, I had the chance to travel, make friends with people from foreign countries, and learn not only their cultures but also languages. The whole experience and the friends I met made the memory so precious and unforgettable.
I’m really thankful to my family and friends who always support me, and also BINUS IO and Dong-A University for giving me the opportunity. Last but not least, I truly encourage you to be brave and go for your dreams!

Thank God that only by His grace we could study abroad for a semester together through ISEP. Thank you to our family who always supports us, and to our friends, teachers, and the International Office personnels from BINUS UNIVERSITY and Queens University of Charlotte who have been very kind to help us in this program.
This journey has been such a precious experience for us. Through this program, we have learned how to get through the difficult times. We will never forget the day it was announced that we were selected to be able to study in Queens University of Charlotte together! It was one of the best days of our lives ever! We got to experience living in and adapting to a completely different environment, separated far from our family and friends. We have grown to be more independent and embraced a new culture. This experience was really worthy! We hope you can also experience this amazing journey.

I always want to go abroad, because my dream is to be able to travel around the world. So I think that study abroad can be my first step towards my dream, that’s the reason why I apply to this program. Then turns out, this experience was my most beautiful moment in 2015. It was so amazing and fun. Through this program I found new friends, gain knowledge and connections. I also experience a lot of my first, such as using English all day long. It’s really rare opportunity if you still stay in Indonesia, right? There are also many other things, which only yourself, who can feel that when you join this program. So I really recommend you to join the program, trust me you won’t regret it. Even for me, if I was able to retake my chance, I will take it for sure.
