Adjustment is a process that includes mental and behavioral responses to achieve balance in meeting needs in accordance with environmental demands. However, it was found that students had difficulty adjusting, such as being unprepared to live in a dormitory, having difficulty being away from their parents, violating the dormitory rules, having difficulty getting along, and having intercultural disputes. This is thought to be related to differences in schools, cultural backgrounds and grade levels. This research aims to analyze the adjustment of students in the dormitory based on the type of school, cultural background, and grade level. This research method used is ex post facto with a factorial analysis design. The population was 200 students in the dormitory of Al-Faruqi Kampar, Riau.

This research involves more than two groups and one independent variable aims to compare the data obtained, namely the adjustment of students in the dormitory based on the type of school, cultural background and grade level
When viewed in detail from the results of the analysis, the adjustment data of junior high school students on average is higher than that of vocational high school students. This means that there is a significant difference in students' self-adjustment based on the type of school. This difference in self-adjustment can be seen from the average value obtained from all existing sub-variables, which explains that Junior High School students have higher abilities than Vocational High School students
Summary
A boarding school is an educational institution, which requires all learners or better known as students to live and settle in the dorms to complete their education. Islamic boarding schools are certainly different from other school dormitories so that every student is required to be able to adapt to all existing activities cultures, and habits, and obey all applicable activities and regulations to create a harmonious and conducive environment. Schneiders argues that self-adjustment is a process that includes mental and behavioral responses which are an individual's effort to successfully overcome the needs, tensions, conflicts, and frustrations experienced within him. Based on the statement above, it can be concluded that self-adjustment is a process that includes mental responses and individual behavior to meet their own needs and demands in the environment in which they live. Living in a dormitory environment, students will get to know many people with different backgrounds, be it Rusnila, Daharnis, Yarmis Syukur 63 family, region, culture, language, education, or economic level (Komar & Putra, 2018). One of the factors that influence self-adjustment is the environment, peers, and cultural background (Ali & Asrori, 2011; & Widiasavitri, 2016), students must be able to adapt themselves well (Zakiyah, Hidayati & Setyawan, 2010)
