Abstract: This study maps students’ perceptions of the #KaburAjaDulu phenomenon across four aspects: understanding, exposure sources, causal factors, and perceived impacts. The analyzed questionnaire dataset comprises approximately N = 72 respondents. Descriptive results show that most respondents reported being Aware (55.6%) about #KaburAjaDulu; the most dominant initial exposure source was Social media (X, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) (88.9%). Attitudes toward people seeking opportunities abroad tended to be positive, with the 'Support' category reaching 47.2%. In the long run, the most frequently perceived impact was Loss of potential workforce (52.8%).
