Story of a Student Who Receives a Scholarship and Decides to Drop Out from a University in Russia and Chooses to Study in Indonesia, Reasons are Unexpected

Dream - Being able to study abroad with the cost covered by a scholarship is a blessing and a pride of its own. Besides the free cost, studying abroad can provide additional knowledge that may not be obtained domestically.

However, the reality experienced by a woman named Fika is different from what was imagined when she studied abroad.

Story of a Student Who Receives a Scholarship and Decides to Drop Out from a University in Russia and Choose to Study in Indonesia, the Reason is Unexpected

Through the TikTok account @bukanhiburanmu, Fika tells her experience of studying abroad and eventually deciding to quit and return to Indonesia. Previously, Fika had the opportunity to study in Russia. Coincidentally, the major she took was in line with the knowledge she had been pursuing since junior high school.

Unable to study abroad

After studying Russian language for 1 year for free, Fika managed to continue her studies until the third semester. Unfortunately, Fika felt unable to continue her studies in Russia and chose to quit the university. Instead, Fika decided to return to Indonesia and study at one of the private universities in the homeland.

"Which crazy person would drop out of a university in Russia and choose to study at a private university in Indonesia? That's me," he wrote.

Funny enough, Fika took a different major, namely Chemical Engineering, and had to retake her courses from the beginning. Fika admitted that it was difficult to find a university that offered an astronomy major like the one she studied in Russia.

The reason Fika chose to return to Indonesia even though she was already in her third semester in Russia is because she had difficulty following the lessons there. In addition to the many subjects that she couldn't master, Fika also had difficulty understanding the Russian language.

Passed the Exam But Feels Empty

He fills out the answer sheets randomly every time he takes an exam. Although some are declared passed. But Fika feels that the exam results are useless because he doesn't understand the lessons at all.

"The mistake I made from the beginning was not studying the language properly so that I could understand it. Instead, I only focused on assignments and neglected my responsibilities. Even though I graduated, I am still clueless," he said.

Because of the reasons above, Fika returned to Indonesia even though she had to start over because her major was different. "So yeah, I repeated my college in Indonesia from the beginning with a different major. And I'm glad I did that," she concluded.

The story of Fika who chose to return to Indonesia after not being able to handle studying in Russia has invited various comments. Many support Fika's decision, which is considered realistic. Because not everyone can do it. "Changing majors is not a problem, sis. I used to study international relations too, but I felt like it wasn't my thing, so I transferred and studied economics." "You're really cool, sis. This is also a reminder for those who want to study abroad that they really need to prepare mentally, not just recklessly." "The coolest part of life is accepting the situation but not stopping to fight for something more realistic."
