On SST Indonesia ’26, students spent their first few days getting to know Yogyakarta: learning to use various transportation systems, trying new foods, exploring new places, and getting acquainted with the universities where they will learn from lecturers and language instructors.
We walked around the neighborhood surrounding Rumah Goshen:

Were given a helpful safety orientation by our Indonesian partners:
