For many students, the Community Service Program (KKN) is often seen as a formality—just another academic requirement to complete before graduation. But after experiencing it firsthand, I’ve come to realize that KKN is much more than that. It is a chance to grow, to listen, and to understand the realities of life outside the campus bubble.
During my KKN in Rajeg Mulya Village, I was involved in a variety of programs, from teaching children and helping at the mosque to assisting residents in registering their businesses legally through the NIB (Business Identification Number) program. These weren’t just tasks on a checklist—they were moments of connection. I saw firsthand how much a small act—like explaining NIB registration step by step—can ease someone’s burden.
KKN teaches us real skills: communication, collaboration, empathy, and leadership. We work with people from different backgrounds, deal with challenges on the spot, and learn to adapt quickly. There’s no textbook that can fully prepare us for that kind of experience.
More importantly, KKN reminds us that education is not only about personal success, but also about contributing to the community. It’s about showing up, doing the work, and making even the smallest positive difference. And in that process, we grow—not just as students, but as individuals.
