i will explain by point so keep enjoy to read this :))
There's 5 fact that almost every x-senior high school student will fell it :
1. Feel afraid (-)
WHY ??
because almost student had thought that OBM is part of greating 'Maba' (mahasiswa baru) by giving hard lesson, give some question, and to show their skills and the time to prove that we are worthy in here. So, almost everyone feel afraid and worried because thet think that their new friends are smarter, cleverer, more beautiful, more rich, and other. which can make down. (this is frequently happend on student who are from region).
2. This is the time to find new friend, new bestfriend, or even new boy/girlfriend.
HAHA.
i ensure that almost everyone have agree to this point especially in the last words (this is frequent happend for single man/lady,right? Ok.forget it.)
this is true that in the OBM you can find so much friends. The interesting point that you can find some friends from various faculty, there are FISIP, FMPIA, FT, FK, FKM, FEB, FH, FIK, FF, FIA, FPSI, FIB, FASILKOM. So, this time to know how the differences among them. Because every faculty has unique behaviour. In a chance you can also know them, introducing each other, and even 'modus time' hihi. Fortunately, you can also meet some actrist in OBM. So, you can ask to them to selfie together, lunch together, or learn together. So it's can be amaze moment for you !
3. This is the time you can visit every part of UI
Not only faculty. but you also can visit library, mosque, and other facilities. WARNING !!! be careful when you get the schedule and your OBM's room, that's not as easy as you have think. because UI is a complex and wide area. So, that's not a strange moment if you have strayed away when find building or room. this is happend in some first days, that's also can make you be late and UNFORTUNATELY if you are in unlucky day, you are student in the class whom killer lecturer is there. So becareful ! and for the solution you can find friends in the same room, so if you are reproval from the lecuturer, your friend also unlucky as you :D
4. This is the time that you can feel the differences between learn in School and University
Be calm down, OBM isn't an scary moment. But they can make us to know what the differences between learn in school and university, how the learn methode, how the uniform we can use, how the rules in the university, how you can adapt yourself in university, how you can do your task well-done, and other interest lessons.
5. You can collect your best photo and update your social media !!
yes. i know almost everyone now like selfie *i dont know it's true or not* especially in the place that their like, their favourite, and they dream. University of Indonesia is a dream for new comer student, they feel interest and very happy if they can take some picture in some place that they like. There are 2 place that almost student want to take picture in there :
- library.
I ensure this is favourite place for every student. Usually with caption : "@LibraryUI. that's the biggest library in asean which have 8 floors."
- in front of faculty
every faculty in University of Indonesia are display in a great and big words. So, almost student want to take this picture in there. because they can tell their friends in social media or other silenty, if they are now can get their dream, they are happy in there, and they are luck to be a part of that.
-The buildings cortyard (rektorat)
this is favourite place. Because it's one identity of UI. have big, and tall buildings. this is beautiful buildings! but there's some mythic story in there hihi
there are so much interest place, but now i just can explain two place which is always there on UI Student's handphone....
that's my experiences...
keep enjoy for OBM
and, i want to give a congratulations for new comers !!!
