Living in a country with a different culture will cultivate student’s adaptability and broaden their perspective in dealing with diversity. Through this diversity, students are expected to seize opportunities, including teaching or professional prospects, as well as opportunities in the economics sector such as export and import. This becomes a resource for students to develop their potential in the future.
