Social support refers to the assistance an individual receives from their environment, encompassing emotional, appraisal (esteem), instrumental, informational, and network support. The purpose of this study is to understand the forms of social support that students from South Papua who have relocated to Jakarta to pursue higher education receive. The study involved four students enrolled at private universities in Jakarta. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore how these students perceive and interpret the social support they experience while studying in Jakarta. The findings indicate that all four participants receive social support from parents, family members, and friends—both on and off campus. The forms of support most frequently experienced by the participants include appraisal support and network support. Conversely, informational, emotional, and instrumental support were perceived as less robust. This study highlights the significance of parental, family, and friend involvement in assisting students who have relocated for their higher education.
