To top off the day, our students had the chance to cook their favorite Indonesian meals together! A good way to practice their cooking skills while having a blast with their friends! Do enjoy some snaps from the event!
“I’m excited because having a pre-departure event can help me to prepare for my departure. Not only that, I understood the administrative documents that I should have from the session. I learned about the study plan that will help maximize my study overseas! Kudos to the International Office team for organizing the session and the fun cooking session, said Andira Wulan, a Mass Communication Student who will go to the HAN University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.
