Abstract	Resilience refers to the capacity of individuals to maintain or regain psychological well-being in the face of adversity, trauma, or significant sources of stress. It involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that can be learned and developed (Metusalem, 2017). The present study aimed to compare these variables among hostellers and day-scholars. The study was conducted on 100 participants aged between 21 and 25, including 50 hostellers and 50 day-scholars. Data were collected using a purposive and convenience sampling technique. A standardised tool, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), to measure the respective variables. Descriptive statistics, a normality test, and independent sample t-tests were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that hostellers and day-scholars differed regarding resilience.
