Therefore, in the Indonesian Student Dormitory (AMN), young people who come from various regions throughout Indonesia join together to live under the same roof even though they are different from each other and receive a lot of guidance or education that is useful for their future. increasingly maximizing its potential.
One of the objectives of the institution’s initiation program led by Police General (Ret.) Prof. Dr. Budi Gunawan’s goal is to facilitate academic and non-academic activities that can further develop students’ potential and skills as a whole.
Not only that, because it contains young people from a variety of different backgrounds, the Nusantara Student Dormitory is also a means of strengthening relations between the nation’s young generation, resulting in an increased sense of unity and oneness in their souls.
The existence of AMN is a symbol of unity in Indonesia’s diversity, because the building is able to become a home for hundreds of students who come from various corners of the Motherland.
After successfully standing majestically in the city of Surabaya, the government, through the initiation of BIN, continued construction of the Nusantara Student Dormitory, which is now in Manado, and will continue to expand to various regions and points in Indonesia such as Makassar, Yogyakarta, Jakarta and Malang.
AMN is indeed a center for unity and character development for the nation’s future young generation who are pursuing higher education at various universities. Because of these benefits, the Academic Head of Sam Ratulangi University (Unsrat) Manado, William Pangemanan, fully supports the existence of this government strategic program.
In the process of managing the Nusantara Student Dormitory, various parties including Unsrat plan to provide guidance to the residents, so that their potential or hidden talents can be maximized.
Meanwhile, Head of the Higher Education Financing Center of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) Anton Rahmadi said that based on the results of the meeting with the AMN Working Group (Pokja) from the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), there were two things that continued to be of concern namely the national insight of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and also diversity.

The existence of the Nusantara Student Dormitory itself is able to further strengthen the competence of young people in various sectors such as education, animal husbandry, agriculture and fisheries.
Sam Ratulangi University (Unsrat) Manado also has a very strong commitment to fully support the development of AMN by preparing tens of hectares of land for developing the skills of young people there.
Former Deputy Chancellor I for Academic Affairs at Unsrat, Grevo Soleman Gerung, assessed that the Nusantara Student Dormitory would be a very important means of improving the quality of education and skills of young people in various fields to the maximum and making them ready to compete on the national and even international stage.
The development of AMN, initiated by the State Intelligence Agency, is certainly a catalyst for improving the quality of education and training, especially for young people. This superior government strategic program can further strengthen the role of universities in Indonesia in producing graduates who are competent and highly competitive.
Without hesitation, the Indonesian Government, through BIN, built the Nusantara Student Dormitory in a very magnificent manner with adequate and complete facilities. For AMN Manado itself, the area is up to 20 thousand square meters and with a building area of 1,595 square meters.
As for the facilities themselves, there is a tower building for men’s and women’s dormitories, then there is a meeting building, multipurpose room, sports field, garden, road access and adequate parking area.
Thus, because it is very magnificent and has complete, adequate and modern facilities, the Nusantara Student Dormitory is ready to become a forum for developing young people’s skills in various fields.
The upbringing, training and training in the Nusantara Student Dormitory (AMN) is clearly increasingly capable of maximizing the potential of all the nation’s youth, making them prepared and highly competitive on the world stage while maintaining a strong national outlook and character.
