<![CDATA[This The increasing diversity within higher education institutions raises important questions about how students from traditional Islamic educational backgrounds negotiate their values in multicultural environments. However, limited studies have examined the transformation of pesantren values when individuals experience minority positions in pluralistic academic settings. This study aims to analyze the transformation of pesantren values within a multicultural higher education context. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research focuses on a student with a pesantren background studying at a multicultural university where he occupies a minority religious position. Data were collected through in-depth informal conversations to explore academic and social experiences. The findings indicate that core pesantren values discipline, responsibility, tolerance, social ethics, and religious commitment remain resilient while undergoing contextual adaptation. The subject maintains a strong religious identity while developing openness, empathy, and adaptive communication. Notably, the minority experience encourages reflective understanding and constructive reinterpretation of religious values. This study highlights the dynamic transformation of pesantren values from a minority perspective and demonstrates their role in fostering intercultural resilience and inclusive attitudes.]]>
