    Studying in Bina Nusantara University

    I’ve been studying here since 2021. My experience at BINUS University has been very interesting and comfortable. There are so many study programs available at BINUS University, making it difficult to choose the right one for me. However, each study program has different career prospects, so it must be tailored to each individual’s interests and talents. Furthermore, there are many student organizations (UKM) that students can join while studying at BINUS University. This has made my college experience very enjoyable and has allowed me to expand my network by joining many organizations. The lecturers are also very experienced and highly educated. So far, my experience studying at BINUS has been very enjoyable.I would recommend BINUS to my friends who are planning to study there.

    Non Stop Growth, Easy Access

    When I first heard about the university, was from their promotion team that came to every known school in every city. That means they provide easy access to their potential students.
    When I already joining the university, they still offer simple process during registration in each term, and also everything starting to use internet and computer, so everything getting easier right.
    During my years, the facility and also faculty are growing. And right now after couple decades, there are some branches of the university in other location too, i guess they still adding new campus in these near future.

    Binus University Review as 5th Semester Student

    There were several culture shocks experienced when giving courses at Binus University. For 12 years, I attended a public school; Binus University was a private institution. I was first taken aback by how disciplined and enthusiastic everyone I encountered—students, professors, and even the lecture mechanism—was. This startled me because not everything can happen at a public school. In the meanwhile, I found it difficult to work in teams since I believed that many of the students in the lectures tended to be individualists.
