Universitas Pelita Harapan

Universitas Pelita Harapan, yes this is my university, where I being taught to be a good man.. :D

 future uph. haha (it ain't accomplished yet)

It's a long story to tell you how I could move to this university at the middle of the academic year. but, overall I enjoy studying here...I enjoy the atmosphere.
UPH is a good university with a superb facilities and environment. I've never seen a university that have environment just like it. UPH has Gym, Olimpic size swimming pool, soccer field, futsal field, basketball court,etc etc...
and it has 8 buildings, A is for Rectorate; B is for classes of Faculty of Design and Planning, Conservatory of Music, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Faculty of Computer Science, Faculty of Psychology, School of Education, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, and Faculty of Liberal Arts; building C is for Food Junction of UPH, Johannes Oentoro Library of UPH, Grand Chapel UPH, Mission Youth for Christ (MYC) Student Lounge and Girl's Dormitory; building D is for classes of School of Law and School of Hospitality and Tourism, and there's two big hall at the top floor of this building; E is for UPH College; building F is for Business School and Faculty of Social and Politic Science; and last, building G is for Boy's Dormitory and Scholarship Dormitory.

I take Interior Design here, and I'm a scholarship student with platinum category (100%), therefore I got privilege to stay and live in scholarship dormitory with other scholar students. it's very fascinating to live with them. and the location between my dorm and my uni is really close. so I'll just walk by foot if I get any classes to attend.
Second, I like the lecture here who really have passion to teach us, their students. The Head of Interior Design UPH is Martin L. Katoppo S.T., M.T.Ars and Julia Dewi S.T., M.T. as the Deputy.
Interior UPH have many qualified lectures..which come from distinguished local and international university (such Insitut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Katolik Parahyangan, AUT New Zealand, Sydney University, London Metropolitan University, FH Kaiserslautern - Germany, and University of Oregon).
Interior Design UPH also have International Partner, which is Queensland University of Techonology (QUT) that provide dual degree (B.A. and S.Sn.) to every students that desire to have it.


One thing that make Interior Design UPH interesting is the approach of groping "Interior", UPH is trully maximize the usage of the theory of design.. so that the students here won't ever built something without any logical and wise reasons. After that, interior UPH is unique, because our lectures are never dividing the relation between Interior and Exterior (which mean Architecture). My lecture, Dipl.-Des. Paulus S. Whanarahardja ever said that "Verily, we (student of interior design) are the student of Innenarchitektur (Space Architect), and not just Interior Design which have tendency to Interior Decorator". so it's not astonishing if Interior Design of UPH also think about the outside realm. :D
And I really hope and wait for the name of Interior Design could change into Interior Architecture. (maybe, there's question how about the Architecture of UPH? I suggest the name's better replaced to Architecture and Urban Design. pretty cool isn't it?) :)
