This type of research is filed research with a qualitative approach. The data collection method is done by participatory observation, depth interviews, and documentation. The data validity tests are confirmability, transferability, reliability and triangulation. The analysis used is intractive analysis. This study finds out that, according to their Adversity Quotient, there are three types of students in Islamic Boarding Schools. They are (1). Student Quitters - those who refused to live in the boarding house, (2) Student Campers - those who tried to stay but failed or did not finish their study, (3) Student Climbers - those who successfully completed their study in Islamic Boarding Schools. Adversity Quotient of the Islamic Boarding School’s students can be detected from the initial response of their living in the dormitory, their lifestyle, their learning environment, their response to change, their contribution, language, and ability to overcome difficulties.
