All freshmen will learn about campus life through a “A New Student Orientation Program” organized by Student Affairs. It is conducted before an academic year starts and it will help students transition into college life. They will meet new friends in a session designed to provide them with information while meeting other students. Senior year students will lead this session and can become mentors who can help freshmen adapt to campus life. Students will also meet faculty members and staff who will orient students to academic programs and services. At the end of the orientation, students will get Student ID’s, Campus Access Cards, A Sampoerna University Jacket, Wi-fi Access, a University Email Address and other resources related to facilities including library and student portal access.

Student Testimony
I chose Sampoerna University because Sampoerna University is in collaboration with the University of Arizona where you can get a U.S.-like experience while still studying here in Jakarta. I’m very glad that I chose SU because SU facilitates me to achieve my degree with high-quality lecturers who can guide and help me achieve my degree. SU also has a lot of non-academic related interests and they facilitate students to chase them.
