Hello FlokqJune 5, 2020

East Jakarta isn’t just known for Universitas Negeri Jakarta, but it’s also known for other universities like the Kalbe Institute, Universitas Borobudur, and University of Trisakti F Campus. Luckily for prospective students, all of these universities are all concentrated in the Pulo Gadung area, so it’s easy to imagine a very college-oriented environment despite the glamorous metropolitan backdrop. Of course, you will also need to have proper housing to support your school and other daily activities. Thankfully, the area has so many student kosts. To help with your search, we have compiled four kosts near universities in East Jakarta, all in great detail!

1. Kost Melati Rawamangun

One of the kosts in Rawamangun is the Kost Melati, an exclusive mixed kost with diverse tenants. You will meet college students as well as office workers and the occasional couples here. 

For Rp2.200.000,00, you can get a sunlight-filled room complete with an accelerated Wifi and a TV. You will also get a private bathroom with a shower, water heater, and a sitting toilet.

The kost is a mansion-like building with a closed-off parking area for motorcycles and cars. There is also a 24-hour CCTV for further security measures. Kost Melati focuses on security without sacrificing the tenants’ access. Because of that, every tenant holds (and must keep) the gate key in case they need to come home late.

The kost’s location is very strategic, as its distance is close to the campuses mentioned above. It’s also near Rawamangun bus terminal, the LRT Velodrome station, a Busway station, as well as malls like the Arion Mall, Green Pramuka Square Mall, and Seasons City Trade Mall.
