Student review [#81603] for Communication and Media Studies
at Islamic University of Indonesia - UII

Islamic University of Indonesia usually mentioned as UII is actually the oldest university in Indonesia established by Indonesian founding fathers. Although this university is one of the oldest, since it is a private university, it is not as well known as the top universities in Indonesia, because private universities are often underestimated. This campus is an Islamic campus that has certain activities that support the deepening of the Islamic religion for each student, even so this campus is not only intended for Muslim students, non-Muslims are also very welcome to study here.

What I like from this university are its facilities that really help student, its high service for student needs, its diversity of students who come from all over Indonesia plus there are also many international here, and its various scholarships offer. However, what I don’t like about this university is the lack of ambition to learn and the spirit of competition from students, this is because the stigma of Indonesian society between state and private universities is quite different, they make private campuses a second choice so that those who are quite well achieved are often on state campuses, in fact I feel that private campuses provide services and facilities far better than state campuses.

I recommend this university for anyone, especially for international students because here foreign students are very well served, we have an international affairs office and a unit under it that focuses on cultural learning for international students. besides that, the good facilities and services really support students to achieve their goals, especially for their future careers because we also have UII Career Center which is a career center service owned by Universitas Islam Indonesia and managed by the Directorate of Career and Alumni Development (DPKA). This unit functions as an important bridge to connect graduates with the world of work. Various programs related to career preparation such as career counseling, career mentoring, career seminars, and job fairs are some of the routine agendas.
