It involves 400 respondents of three state and three private universities in Malang with study programs with ‘high, ‘fair', and ‘low' bases on the proportion of the study programs accredited A by the National Board of Accreditation (BAN). Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively. The results show reading comprehension of most respondents ranges from ‘avarage' to ‘low'. Most word attack skills and text content attack skills are low. Text structure attack skills are not adequately mastered. The respondents' comprehension across state universities does not significantly differ, but there is a difference across private universities, limited to certain private universities. A significant difference between the comprehension of students of state universities and private universities and a significant difference between the comprehension of science and social studies students are evidenced.
