A career in the capital city is one of the desires of many Indonesians. This is due to the progress and the many opportunities considered attractive by most people, which are difficult to obtain if not in the capital city.

However, some consider Jakarta, which is still Indonesia’s capital city, to have become an area full of the hustle and bustle and many other problems. This makes some people consider choosing areas around Jakarta as a place for their career, trade, activities, and even to study.

For those currently considering studying in the capital city but want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, you in the right page because this article will discuss the reasons for choosing the closest campus near Jakarta. Curious? Read this article to the end.

Cost Efficient

The first reason you should consider studying at a campus around Jakarta is that you can save more. How come?

Ok, here we go. With all the abundance and facilities available in Jakarta, Jakarta is the target of many people as a place to bet on their fortunes and fate. That way, Jakarta has now become very congested and also very expensive.

The tuition fees are also high for those targeting campuses in Jakarta, let alone private ones. If you are migrating from the area, you also need to pay attention to the needs for housing, accommodation, food, snacks, recreation, and emergency funds which are also not cheap.

With all the costs of living being relatively expensive compared to other areas, living in Jakarta must be carefully considered and calculated so you don’t get overwhelmed and find dead ends later.

Therefore, choosing the closest campus around Jakarta can be an option for those looking for experiences and opportunities like those in Jakarta, but at a lower cost than in the capital city. You can save on living expenses such as housing, accommodation, etc.

You can also save more on tuition fees because tuition fees on campuses in the Jakarta satellite area are still quite affordable. Of course, with quality and facilities that are no less great than private campuses in Jakarta.

Everything is Available

Most of you may think that no other area is as complete and cool as Jakarta. That is very not true. If you still think so, try playing around in the Tangerang area, especially South Tangerang. Tangerang is a satellite area that complements the capital city, apart from Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi.

Compared to other cities, including Jabodetabek, access to South Tangerang from Jakarta is also relatively fast and easy. You can choose any mode of transportation, from commuter lines, shuttle buses, buses, and private vehicles.

So, in South Tangerang, you can find almost anything you want, just like in Jakarta, starting from complete shopping centers, unique cafes and hangouts, co-working spaces, public attractions, various places to eat, and many others that you might expect from a big city like Jakarta.

Thus, you don’t need to be afraid of being bored or worry that your needs and desires will not be met if you study in the South Tangerang area.

Easy and Cheap Accommodation

Another important factor is related to accommodation. Yes, compared to accommodations in Jakarta, you can get more affordable accommodations with even more facilities and comfort compared to places with similar prices in the Jakarta area.

Apart from that, those who also plan to migrate to the capital city and its surroundings also need to know the environment around the area you’re staying in. You wouldn’t want to live in a dangerous or dirty environment, do you?

The good news is that in South Tangerang, there are plenty of boarding houses, apartments, or rental houses specifically designed for prospective students who want to migrate to this area.

Apart from providing a safe, clean, and tidy environment and area, in some places, you can also get extra facilities, such as a swimming pool, gym, to sports fields available in the complex where you live. Very interesting, right?

Lots of Experience and Opportunity

This is also an important point that is one of the main reasons why you decide to migrate to Jakarta. It’s no longer a secret; many people are willing to bet on their fate and leave their “comfort zone” to migrate to Jakarta in search of experience and seize opportunities that most simply cannot find at where they originally came from.

For those who agree with this argument, now you can look at the closest areas to Jakarta, such as South Tangerang, as your study option. Although it’s slightly different from what you can get in Jakarta, the experiences and opportunities you might get by studying at the nearest campus around Jakarta are still wide open.

But you must remember to have faith that experiences and opportunities will not come to you alone without you having to do something. So, be prepared to seek experience and pick up the opportunities that are in front of your eyes.

Conclusion

For those considering studying at the nearest campus around Jakarta, you can look at the South Tangerang area, such as Gading Serpong, BSD, to Alam Sutera. There, you can find several leading private campuses that are also of high quality and can be competed with other leading national private campuses. One that you can choose is Multimedia Nusantara University (UMN), which is located in the Gading Serpong area.
