Tangerang – At Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN), we believe that every student deserves a fair chance to succeed, regardless of their financial background. To support students from low-income families, UMN provides targeted assistance in accommodation and transportation, making university life more accessible for those who need it most. These initiatives help ease financial burdens, allowing students to focus on what truly matters: their education and future. 

One significant way UMN supports its students is through discounted dormitory accommodation. In 2023, 33 students, or 22% of dormitory residents, benefited from a discount program that offers up to 50% off based on household income. This assistance ensures that students from less-privileged backgrounds have a stable, affordable place to live, giving them a stronger foundation to excel academically without the stress of housing costs. 

UMN also recognizes the challenges of commuting for students from local families. For dormitory residents, a dedicated shuttle service provides easy and reliable transportation to campus, creating a seamless daily commute. Meanwhile, students who live locally with their families can take advantage of an expanded UMN bus service in collaboration with JA & JR Connection and Summarecon Shuttle Bus, covering convenient pick-up points like Pasar Modern (Pasmod) and ITC BSD, further reducing transportation costs.

These accommodation and transportation support systems are part of UMN’s broader mission to ensure that students from low-income families have the tools and resources to succeed. By reducing financial stress, UMN empowers these students to thrive academically and personally, reaffirming our commitment to an inclusive, supportive educational environment where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.
