Abstract
Students migrating from outside Java Island to pursue higher education at University X Surabaya encounter significant adjustment challenges due to cultural differences, language barriers, social norms, and academic demands, which may lead to stress, loneliness, and decreased academic performance. This study aimed to examine the influence of social support on self-adjustment among first-year students from outside Java. This quantitative research employed a correlational design. A total of 116 first-year students or from class of 2025 were selected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using assumption tests and simple linear regression. The results revealed a significant positive influence of social support on self-adjustment (R = 0.66, R² = 0.43, p < 0.001), with social support explaining 43% of the variance in self-adjustment. These findings highlight the important role of social support as a protective factor in the cross-cultural adaptation process of migrant students.References
