“Studying at Undip gave me a lot of experience and learning. Living far from home is certainly a challenge to adapt, but the comfortable campus atmosphere makes it easy. I was able to get to know friends with different cultural backgrounds, learn to socialize with the community better and learn new things in the world of agriculture that I certainly haven’t had before. Agriculture is a very crucial field for the nation, but there are still many people who are not interested in this field, because it is synonymous with hoeing and working in the fields. Being an agricultural student, it is a challenge for me to change the stigma of people who still look down on agriculture.” he said.
