This study explores the role of Javanese culture in shaping communication patterns among communication studies students in a university setting. Javanese culture, which is rich in values such as harmony, respect, and empathy, plays an important role in influencing interactions among Javanese communication students. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with Javanese communication studies students at a university in Java. The findings indicate that Javanese communication students tend to engage in subtle communication and avoid direct confrontation, reflecting their efforts to maintain harmony in everyday interactions. The formal and respectful communication patterns observed in their interactions with lecturers or senior students also highlight their respect for social hierarchy, which is deeply rooted in Javanese culture. Furthermore, Javanese students demonstrate adaptability within multicultural environments by adjusting their communication styles without compromising their cultural values. Despite technological advancements and the influence of social media, traditional Javanese cultural values remain present in their online interactions, indicating cultural resilience amid modernization. This study emphasizes the importance of cultural education in preserving Javanese cultural identity among students and in enhancing understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity on campus. This book offers insights into local cultural dynamics in the context of higher education and their relevance in an increasingly interconnected global era.
