   Nazhiif Hibatullah Rahadi, program studi Ilmu Hubungan Internasional di Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta angkatan 2022. Alasan mengambil program studi HI karena saya memiliki ketertarikan terhadap relasi antar negara dalam skala internasional yang dimana program studi ini membahas hal tersebut. Dosen favorit saya selama ini adalah Pak Adi Wibawa dan Bu Lucitania Rizky. Saya berencana mengambil konsentrasi diplomasi bisnis.
