Years of Growth

The Good Stuff: One of the best things about this university is the sense of community. There are plenty of student groups and events to join. Academically, the professors are very helpful, and the lessons push you to think critically and solve problems, which is super useful for the future. The Tough Parts: While the building for my major could be improved, the rest of the campus is generally good. As for the workload, it can be challenging to balance everything, especially during exam periods, but that’s all part of the university experience. Why I Recommend It: If you’re looking for a place where you can learn, grow, and make great connections, this is the right place. This place doesn't just give degree, but it also teaches you to become a well-rounded person ready for the real world.

4 Years of Studies in MCU

I didn't like going to Maranatha at first because of the stigma between public and private university. But as time goes on, in the end i love this university because the psychology studies is not only with theories, but practical skill too. Students are allowed to explore more and learn about observation, interview, training, and even testing psychological tests. The campus is not too big, but enough to do everything. I got a lot of organization experiences and got a chance to become an intern in MCU.
