The ability of an individual to respond appropriately to the conditions and realities of the social environment, also known as social adjustment, is essential for students who pursue education in a different city. According to schneiders (1965) on personality factors, emotional maturity plays an important role in overcoming problems or conflicts. This aspect of emotional maturity shows the influence of emotional aspects on social adjustment ability. Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage emotions well and use them to guide thinking and acting. This study aims to determine the impact of emotional intelligence on the social adjustment of out-of-state students. This research was conducted using quantitative methods, involving 164 overseas students selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used are the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, and the Social Adjustment Scale developed by Nadia Safitri (2010). Data was collected using an online questionnaire. Then, the collected data was analysed by regression test with Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) tool.

Particularly in the use of emotion dimension, which shows a significant impact on social adjustment. This indicates that enhancing emotional intelligence can assist international students in their social adjustment process.
