Questions prior to Entering DWCU

The starting point for someone in entering the real life is when he/she finishes his/her senior high school. Together with his/her parents, they start questioning the uncertainty of the future, not knowing what will happen then. The wrong step will make him/her lost, but the right one will lead him/her to the light of life.

Senior High School graduates face a kind of mystery when they have to continue their study to the university. That is why it is better for them to question themselves from the very beginning. "Do I enter university just to follow the tradition?" or "Do I enter university because I want to be a mature human being?" All Senior High School Graduates have to answer those questions.

People often take for granted that studying at the university is a logical step after someone graduates from Senior High School. Therefore, they just go to the university after finishing their Senior High School without having any basic or revolutionary motive.

We have to be apprehensive about it. In fact, University like Duta Wacana Christian University is very enthusiastic in educating the new generation of independent and trustworthy professionals who have strong and qualified personality as well as broad knowledge. They are also prepared to be skillful, mature and reliable.
