ABSTRACT
There has been a rising of international attention in the role of higher education in promoting sustainability. As consequences, several universities have integrated sustainability into their curricula, research, programs, projects, partnerships, and assessments. However, those sustainability programs will never be obtained without cooperation from all stakeholders. Students, as the biggest stakeholders are considered to play an important role in supporting campus sustainability. This research tried to compare the attitudes of students related to campus sustainability in two universities. Five dimensions, i.e., campus sustainability, environmental information, students' sustainability involvement, university's role in sustainable development, and university's self-representation as a green university are used in this research. A case study was conducted in two universities that located in Semarang, Indonesia.
