This study examines the illness narrative in the form of experiences of students with mental disorders who experience stigma in the social environment of the University of Indonesia campus, using qualitative ethnographic methods which include observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. This study found that the informants who incidentally were students with mental disorders experienced stigma in the form of labels, stereotyping, and discrimination occurred when they were active in their respective social environments; at the study program, with fellow students of same year, and the scope of Extracurricular Student Units. The construction of illness narrative presented by each informant provides clues to events in life that they think are important, namely the emotional burden caused by the stigma that occurs in the closest social sphere on campus which causes their psychological condition to significantly decrease and affect social and psychological aspects of the academic informants.
