Well, when I asked the teacher about this topic, I was told that this was rather about the UKMs, or Student Activity Units. Because of that I’ll explain about it a little, from my perspective, and which ones that I joined.
The UKMs are like clubs, or extra curriculum activities in schools. They have various units that are categorized into several categories based on the kind of activity they do, such as:
- Sports
- Reasoning (I can’t understand why they call it reasoning)
- Martial Arts (or Self-Defense, as they call it on their website)
- Arts
- Information Media
- Streaming (Somewhat like hobby or something?)
- Religious
- Community
There are a lot of UKM in BINUS, and I’m not able to explain every single one, so I’ll tell you, the readers, which one that I joined. I joined only one UKM, the Tae Kwon Do UKM. It’s one of the UKM from the Martial Arts category. For those of you who don’t know what Tae Kwon Do is, it’s a martial art from Korea. It’s quite popular & has been around for a long time.
