Gratified of a New Life Abroad

At the first time, I am thankful directly to Interweave for offering this tremendous program as part of the Erasmus Plus scholarship. Furthermore, I would like to say thanks as well to Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), which has already accepted me as one of the lucky students to study computer science in the best university in Poland.

I even cannot imagine before that I could study abroad, especially in Europe which one of my dreams all the time. New life begins and I enjoy every single moment happily, even though I wonder about the little part, which I could not follow something and understand quickly. However, through the time, I learn how to adapt with the social environment, weather, food, and also education system in campus which most of them are different with in my country, Indonesia. Every start was difficult for me, but fortunately it just a while. I learned Polish for two weeks at the early of winter semester, which was held by WUT and it is free for Erasmus student. Although I just learned very basic of Polish, it helps me when ordering food in restaurant or asking people to show me the right direction to reach somewhere.

I meet many new friends from different countries, who have their own characteristics and personal background. Most of them are friendly and open-minded person, thus make me so warm in such surroundings. I even could travel over the world only by hearing my friends’ stories about their countries. In addition, I do delight in all courses I take here, because I could find new expertise that I never get before in my previous study. It is quite hard and challenging, but really fun to dig more.

Last but not least, in my point of view, by studying abroad our insights will be added indirectly almost in every aspect. Therefore, I am not supposed to hesitate of trying a new good taste, which could help us to expand our ability, either in social or education area. I am so grateful of looking forward for my new friends’ turn to study abroad.
