Edu Passion 2019

   Hello people! Today I will share my experience in Edu Passion 2019 on Thursday, January 23rd 2019. There was no schedule for study at that day, so the whole day was indeed reserved for Edu Passion event. If you don't know already, Edu Passion is an event where various colleges and other education-related company present their best qualities to educate high school students about their future.

Me and my friends

   As regular event goes, there were a lot of food stands. This time, you have to buy them with coupons. You can trade your money to coupons in a stand near the principal's office. I bought Taiwan chicken rice box and a cotton candy ice cream. While it was a bit expensive, I think it was worth it. Especially the ice cream!

   Me and my friends went to various colleges stands. Eight, to be exact, however I will only tell several of them. The first booth that we visited was Unjani. It stands for "Universitas Jendral Ahmad Yani". It's located in Cimahi, which is not far away from here. Their medical school is popular, and their acceptance quota is 178 for medical school and 60 for faculty of dentistry.

   After that, we visited UIN, which stands for "Universitas Islam Negeri". Because they are controlled under two ministries (Ministry of Religion and Ministry of Technology and Research), they offered 5 ways to enter the school, much more than other colleges in which usually only offer three at most. It was also based on Islam, so there are additional Islam-based study program, however, to enter this school, you don't have to be extremely religious. But if you are, you might have more advantages.

   Then, we visited Maranatha. It's located in three location: Surya Sumantri, Ciumbuleuit, and soon Kota Baru Parahyangan. They offer 9 faculties and 26 study programs. The new place in Kota Baru Parahyangan will have 3 new faculties, two of them are hotel management and food engineering.

   Last but not least, we visited UNPAD, which stands for Universitas Padjajaran. It's also located in three location, which are Dipatiukur, Jatinangor, and Pangandaran. However, from what I remember Dipatukur is only for S2. The favorite faculties are faculty of economy and medical school. Speaking of medical school, UNPAD also have veterinary school. They will build a vet hospital soon for the students to practice, which is exciting. I want to go to veterinary since I love cats but at the same time I'm very clumsy and gets very emotional seeing sick animals. I'm so conflicted...

   At almost the end of the event, I went to ITB's FTI presentation with my friend. I went to the second presentation since we were late. At first I wanted to visit ITB's SF, which is a pharmacy school, but since we have to interview several stands for Indonesian's task, I was too late. Maybe some other time? Ah, but anyway, FTI stands for "Fakultas Teknologi Industri". It's a school that study how various industry works and how to manage them. I went to the presentation because I was curious about this school. We left early for reasons, but upon leaving I felt more enlighten about the faculty itself. There are several study programs for this faculty, which are Physics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering, Industry Engineering, Chemurgy, and MRI (I don't know the English version of that study, sorry). Check it out!

   And that's the end of my Edu Passion 2019 experience. I left out some details, but I hope you will gain more knowledge after reading this post!
