Abstract

The balance between academic obligations and spiritual life is a big challenge for urban students in Malang City. This balance is important because urban students are dealing with a new lifestyle in Malang City and the many academic demands they must complete. The method used in the preparation of this paper is quantitative method, in which the data is processed by descriptive analysis method and then reinterpreted qualitatively. In this study, the balance is seen based on the concept of balance (work-life balance), namely: 1) personal life interferes with work, 2) work interferes with personal life, 3) personal life improves the quality of work, and 4) work improves the quality of personal life. From this analysis, it was found that there is an imbalance between efforts to fulfill academic demands and spiritual appreciation/activities of urban Catholic students in Malang. Therefore, the balance needs to be sought and realized continuously because both are important and interrelated so that their presence cannot be ignored.
