A great deal of critical and fundamental information concerning rules and policies was also provided. The event also included a consultation with the MBKM team so that participants may raise direct questions concerning Kampus Merdeka and receive direct responses from the MBKM team. Given that this event was arranged by the IMAJI, the Student Association of English Studies Program, the questions were submitted via the IMAJI Instagram account. The MBKM team will choose and respond to the questions most likely to be addressed. Throughout the consultation session, the students displayed enthusiasm and flooded the IMAJI Instagram account with countless questions.
