Hello y'all! I am an international incoming student to Universitas Airlangga this year. I was interested in finding any kost or apartments available near campus B, especially that could be about 10-15 mins walking. If you know about any accomodation available or any place I could do my research, please let me know. Thank y'all in advance!

Hi all, apa ada yang tahu toko yang menyediakan personal audio (IEM, TWS, Headphone) di Surabaya dan bisa coba-coba? Barusan search google dan Jaben PTC udah tutup katanya ya?

Hi everyone!

I'm an 18-year-old white Christian woman from Honduras, and I'll be moving to Surabaya, Indonesia in a few weeks to study. I'm really excited, but since this will be my first time living in Indonesia, I have a few questions about daily life there.

What are the people and the overall lifestyle like in Surabaya? Is religion an important part of everyday life? As a Christian, will that be an issue, or are people generally accepting of different religions?

I'm also wondering about clothing. Do I need to change the way I dress to fit in, or is modest Western-style clothing acceptable?

How is public transportation in Surabaya? Is it reliable and safe for students?

I know that Indonesia can suffer a lot from natural disasters due to geographical location, does surabaya is prepared for this scenarios?

Finally, as a foreign woman, should I be concerned about harassment or discrimination? (especially one who would physically stand out, as I am tall, white, curly and redhead) How are women generally treated, and is Surabaya considered a safe city for international female students?

I'd really appreciate hearing from locals, international students, or anyone who has lived in Surabaya. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! If you’re planning to move to Surabaya or stay here for a few months, you might already know that finding accommodation can be a little tricky, especially if you’re not familiar with the local rental market.

There are actually quite a lot of options around Surabaya, but many of them aren’t advertised on the usual international rental websites. A lot of properties are listed through local agents or word of mouth, which can make the search pretty difficult if you’re new to the city.

I’m based in Surabaya and have connections with several local property agents, so I’m happy to help if anyone is looking for a place.

I can help you look for options around Surabaya and nearby areas, from the city center to places like West Surabaya, East Surabaya, and the surrounding satellite towns.

As a rough guide, budgets around Rp5 million–15 million/month can get you quite different options depending on the area, property type, and your preferences.

If you’re looking, just DM me with:
📍 Preferred area
💰 Budget/month
🏠 Apartment/house/other
📅 How long you’re planning to stay
👥 How many people

I’ll see what I can find or recommend based on your requirements. No guarantees that I’ll find the perfect place, but happy to help connect you with local options if I can.

Welcome to Surabaya! 😄

Izin mau tanya, monggo disebarkan juga boleh. Mau tanya di Surabaya ini untuk tempat buang E-waste apapun, kayak powerbank, kabel, barang elektronik lain yang sudah gabisa dipakai, kayak powerbank menggembung, bekas baterai sekali pakai, itu dimana yaa?

Halo cak ning, mau tanya ke kalian apakah ada rekomendasi servis iphone di Surabaya.

Iphone 11 punya istri ujug2 mati total pas buat scroll2 story wasap, pas saya bawa ke servis lokalan di kota saya, 2 tempat bilang kalo prosesornya yg kena.

Btw iphone 11 yg bini pake baru beli awal 2024 kemarin di erafone, apakah masih bisa diselamatkan?

Amit2 gak bisa nyala lagi, kira2 foto/video yg ada di memori internal bisa diselamatin gak sih? Jujur eman-eman bgt soalnya banyak dokumentasi anak kami mulai dari lahir sampai umur 2 tahunan

I'm arriving in Surabaya for 4 days on a business trip, Monday to Thrusday.

My work will end on tuesday and have a couple of days to explore city and surrounding areas. What can I do in these two days? I was hoping a day's visit to Madura Island and 1 day for Mt. Brumo?

Will this itinerary work? Is there any local tour options that I can take?

P.s. it's my first time visiting Indonesia so I have absolutely no idea what to do :p

Hello! I'm a tourist here in Surabaya. Any suggestions for coffee shop that serves good coffee? Thank you!

I'm flat broke and jujur aja capek, like for real, super pasrah...been applying for jobs in Malang but heard nothing. I've moved cities for work before so I think Surabaya ga begitu that big of a leap ya? Just figured the market gotta be bigger there, bener ga? Tho I don't know anyone in Surabaya and I'm low on funds so I don't want to jump blind, I'm pretty much effed already lol.

Sorry if I'm on the wrong sub. I'm not looking for sympathy or pity, just anyone hiring or knows someone hiring for IT adjacent work, I'm listening. Early morning shift, late night shift, tidak masalah, I will take it. Multiple responsibilities, I will take it. I will do my absolute best job.

A little detail about me, high school in 2011, no degree since, but apa itu matter banget when I have more than a decade of IT adjacent experience... For example, I'm great with Excel, genuinely advanced not just basic formulas, I can type really fast with high accuracy so I'm comfortable dealing with detail heavy data work. I'm also super comfortable with Photoshop and Illustrator and understand design principles quite well, I can do video editing with Premiere Pro and After Effects, I'm not so great but can manage 3D modeling and rendering, I used to write code for hours for fun, I can learn any programming language quick, I'm good with computer hardware as well, I can build computers.

So I'm not someone who's just sitting around, I just don't have have the piece of paper companies here in Indonesia seem to want, like ijazah s1 or diploma... apa saya segitu unemployablenya ya​
