Abstract

This research examines how East Java students perceive, negotiate, and construct their identities at UNESA, elucidating the interconnections between cultural heritage, educational aspirations, and social integration. To address gaps in the existing literature, this study examines students’ life experiences and identity narratives to understand how they reconcile their cultural roots with the demands of higher education in an urban environment. This research employed a qualitative methodology, phenomenological approach, and collected data through an online survey with open-ended questions and in-depth interviews. Participants provided personal narratives and reflections, which were recorded with consent for accuracy. Thematic analysis revealed recurring patterns and themes, offering a comprehensive understanding of identity construction at UNESA. The findings are presented in the form of narrative descriptions, which highlight the complexity and diversity of identity experiences among East Javanese students. The objective of this research is to inform educational policies and practices that support the holistic development of students and encourage regional and national cohesion in Indonesia.
