For almost all Papuans, becomes a university student in Java Island has a high prestige. The first reason is because study in Java Island needs a lot of money to pay the school, rent a boarding house, and spends money for transportation cost and to buy daily needs and food, so only those who belong to a rich family who can send their children to study in Java Island. Another reason why those who study in Java Island is a prestige for the family and the children itself are because only well educated family try to look for a good quality to study. These families think that they can get good quality of education in Java Island so they'll send their son or daughter to study there. Last, even though the learner is come from a poor family but he/she has a good achievement in a major of study, they can be sent by government province or churches in Papua to learn in Java Island. It becomes a prestige for his/ her family for he/she can get a bachelor degree.
Moreover, when a Papuan student comes to study in one of university in Java Island, actually he/she never think before about the problems they might face in many aspects. A simple problem but it gives a big effect to their psychology and relationship for people around them is a language divergence. Javanese language and Papuan are extremely different so east students, especially Papuan students always find difficulties to communicate with Javanese people who they'll meet everyday in the first month they arrived. The differences of language terms and tone to express feeling between Papuan and Javanese draw writer' curiosity to do research about how does a Papuan girl try to survive in majority people around her use Javanese language
