This was also my first opportunity to develop friendships with people from many countries other than Indonesia. I still keep in close contact with quite a few of them as a matter of fact.
After my short but very important 7 months stint in Trinity, I went on to graduate as Valedictorian with double degrees in Mechatronics Engineering & Computer Science. The first few years in hindsight were also much easier for me than other local students as Trinity had prepared me quite extensively on what skills are expected from my degrees. As a result, the learning curve wasn’t that steep.
