<![CDATA[This study explores how communication experiences contribute to the development of independence among female students at Darunnajah 1 Islamic Boarding School. Using Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological perspective, this study examines how students interpret their everyday interactions and develop independent behaviors. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through interviews with six female students and one ustadzah, as well as observations of students’ daily activities and interactions. The findings indicate that independence develops through everyday communication and social interaction within the boarding school environment. Students learn to manage their time, meet their personal needs, make decisions, and take responsibility for their daily activities. Communication with the ustadzah provides guidance and opportunities to discuss personal difficulties, while interactions with peers offer emotional support and opportunities for mutual assistance. These experiences help students adapt to living away from their families and gradually reduce their dependence on others. The study demonstrates that communication experiences contribute to the formation of independence by enabling students to develop self- management, decision-making, and personal responsibility within a structured social environment.]]>
