This study explores the existential experiences of university students within the context of higher education, particularly how they perceive their own existence amid academic and social pressures. The aim of this research is to describe the existential realities faced by students through a descriptive qualitative approach, using reflective questionnaires and literature review. Data were collected from 38 student respondents from various universities in Indonesia. The findings reveal that most students experience identity crises, uncertainty about their life direction, and pressure from academic and family expectations. However, they also show awareness of their freedom to make decisions and a sense of responsibility for their life choices. The discussion connects the findings to existentialist thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Heidegger. The study examines four main aspects: crisis of meaning and personal struggle, freedom and life choices, existential reflection amid social-academic pressure, and freedom of thought along with personal responsibility. This study concludes that students are in the midst of an important existential process, where education should serve not only as a space for academic achievement, but also as a reflective journey to build authentic meaning and self-understanding. Therefore, a more humanistic and reflective educational approach is necessary to support students in discovering their true selves.

The study reveals that university students are actively engaged in an existential struggle, grappling with identity confusion, academic pressures, and the search for personal meaning.Despite these challenges, students demonstrate an awareness of their freedom to choose and a sense of responsibility for their decisions.Ultimately, the research underscores the importance of a humanistic and reflective educational approach that fosters self-discovery and supports students in constructing authentic meaning in their lives.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam bagaimana berbagai pendekatan pendidikan, seperti pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman atau kurikulum yang menekankan refleksi diri, dapat secara efektif mendukung mahasiswa dalam proses pencarian makna dan pengembangan identitas mereka. Selain itu, studi komparatif antara mahasiswa dari berbagai latar belakang sosial-ekonomi dan budaya dapat memberikan wawasan tentang bagaimana faktor-faktor ini memengaruhi pengalaman eksistensial mereka. Terakhir, penelitian kualitatif mendalam yang melibatkan wawancara dan observasi partisipan dapat mengungkap nuansa kompleks dari pergulatan eksistensial mahasiswa, serta mengidentifikasi strategi koping yang mereka gunakan untuk mengatasi tekanan akademik dan sosial, sehingga dapat dirumuskan intervensi yang lebih tepat sasaran untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis dan akademik mahasiswa.
