Mid-Semester Break is the most eagerly awaited activity. A semester break is a right time to take a break and unwind after a busy college routine. Usually, students return home during the semester break. Some go on picnics and travel for refreshing. But some just stay at the boarding house or rent it out, then sleep a lot and keep playing games. Many activities can be done to make the holidays more memorable besides going home or sleeping in the boarding house and playing games.

As a student of the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration, University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY), several activities can be done to fill in the Mid Semester Break. The activities that can be carried out by IGOV UMY students are:

Improve Your Language Skills
Languages open up many possibilities. For example, networking internationally and discovering new career opportunities after graduation. However, you must speak the language frequently and persevere if you want to truly master it. Therefore, the Mid Semester Break is the ideal time to enroll in a course or try out a language app.

Looking for Student Exchange Destination
During Mid Semester Break, you can look for information about your destination for Student Exchange starting from the required administration, how their culture and habits, and Looking for benefits for you when you have to do student exchange in that country

Bonding with our foreign friends

by Student

Yogyakarta (12/11) – The student exchange program is a program that provides opportunities for students to experience the education system abroad for a certain period. Becoming one of the participants in the student exchange program has become a dream for most students, especially university students. Besides being an exciting experience, participating in a student exchange program also has a myriad of benefits which can certainly help you in shaping and developing your abilities and you can take part in positive activities that you may only get while on Student Exchange.

As felt by Moch. Noerriza Triananta is one of the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY) Student batch 2020 who is doing a Student Exchange at Khon Kaen University, Thailand (KKU).

What you can do as an Exchange Student besides doing academic activities, By Salsa Latsica Dewi

by ExchangeKegiatanStudent

Yogyakarta (7/11) – Living in a foreign country is not an easy thing to do, especially when there are many differences. However, this will be a new learning experience that will mature us because our minds will be more open. Student exchange is usually synonymous with academic elements only, but the non-academic elements are rarely highlighted. So people who take part in this activity are mostly only oriented to feel the atmosphere of studying abroad. Whereas in addition to carrying out academic activities, students can carry out non-academic activities which will become stories and memories when they return to Indonesia.

As did Salsa Latsica Dewi, one of the students of the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY) Batch 2020 who is conducting a student exchange program at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia for 1 semester. Besides doing academic activities, she also carries out non-academic activities to expand his network of friends and explore entertainment in Malaysia. According to her, apart from academic activities, there are non-academic activities that students should try when conducting student exchanges, namely:

Strolling around the city
Of course, it will be very unfortunate if we just stay in the dormitory, therefore Salsa uses this opportunity to stroll around Queensbay, Penang, and watch the Sepang MotoGP

2. Try local cuisine
Culinary tourism is a must-try thing for students who are doing student exchanges because we will encounter dishes that do not necessarily exist in Indonesia. For now, Salsa’s favorite local eatery is Mamak Hub in Penang. This local restaurant sells various foods such as nasi lemak, martabak, basmathi fried rice, pizza paratha, etc.

This activity certainly has a positive impact and is an effective way to accelerate the transition and adaptation process. (ARP)

Student Exchange isn’t that scary, by Moch. Noerizza Triananta

by ExchangeStudent

Yogyakarta (5/11) – The student exchange program is a program that provides opportunities for students to experience the education system abroad for a certain period. Becoming one of the participants in the student exchange program has become a dream for most students, especially university students. Besides being an exciting experience, participating in a student exchange program also has a myriad of benefits that can certainly help you shape and develop your abilities.

Of course, there are still many students who are afraid and hesitant to do student exchanges because they have to face a new environment and new culture and adapt to the system and curriculum that is the destination campus, especially if they are not used to living alone. This is also confirmed by Moch. Noerizza Triananta, who is a student of the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY) batch 2020 is conducting Student Exchange at Khon Kaen University, Thailand for 1 semester. “Before I left, I was afraid and nervous because Thailand has a very different culture and rules from Indonesia. Therefore, I was quite worried that I could not follow this program properly.”

However, after almost 2 weeks in Thailand, he felt it was not as scary as he had expected. According to him, participating in student exchange activities gave him a lot of new experiences and new cultures, plus when he came he coincided with the Loy Krathong activity. Loi Krathong is a Siamese festival that is celebrated annually throughout the Kingdom of Thailand and its nearby countries. The name Krathong Festival means “to float the baskets”, and it comes from the tradition of making Krathongs and decorative baskets that flow in rivers.

“After living for 2 weeks in Thailand, my expectations were not that scary because, in my opinion, there were many activities that gave me a lot of new experiences as well as a warm welcome and help from the Indonesian student association in Thailand (Permitha Simpul Khon Kaen)”. ARP
