The awareness of national defense for the students is crucial, given the emergence of radical groups that were trying to recruit members from the students. This research was conducted at Jakarta State University, which aimed to explore the readiness of the university in building awareness of defending the country among students. Students are vulnerable to being influenced by radicalism because they are in the transition period from adolescence to adulthood. In general, students do not have emotional stability, and they are readily volatile, so they are sometimes unable to filter and choose the information. It often made students easily carried away by the negative influence of the radicalism movement. This study applied the qualitative method. Data gained by distributing questionnaires to students, after distributing questionnaires, researchers conducted the interviews with student and policymakers on campus, in this case, the deputy dean for student affairs and the deputy chancellor for student affairs. The results of the study concluded that the need for cooperation of all parties in building campus resilience from the threat of radicalism that began to spread in the campus environment is urgent. © 2019, International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research.
