This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of self-directed learning and social support on the academic resilience of students from Nias at Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM). The study employed a quantitative associative approach using total sampling on 51 Nias students at ULM. Data were collected using a Likert scale and analyzed via multiple regression using SPSS Version 25. The t-test results showed that academic self-efficacy (t = 7.662; p = 0.000) and social support (t = 7.937; p = 0.000) each had a significant effect on academic resilience. The F-test showed that these two variables had a simultaneous effect (F = 38.907; p = 0.000) with an Adjusted R-Square value of 0.536 for X1 and 0.554 for X2. The results indicate that the academic resilience of students living away from home can be fostered through the interaction between their ability to independently manage their learning process and social support that partially replaces the family's controlling role. It can be concluded that independent learning and social support are important factors that need to be strengthened simultaneously to enhance the academic resilience of students living away from home. Future research is recommended to use a longitudinal design and expand the sample to include students from other ethnic groups or regions to strengthen the generalizability of the findings.
