The purpose of this study is to describe the forms of interpersonal communication of Ma'had Aly
Putri students of the Salafiyah Syafi'iyah Islamic Boarding School in Sukorejo. The Salafiyah

Arifin and his son, K.H.R. As'ad Syamsul Arifin. There are 7,000 female students who carry out
communication activities every day. Various forms or patterns of communication interactions are
established among students, one of which is interpersonal communication. This interpersonal
communication is interesting, because it has great potential to influence or persuade others. This
research uses a qualitative, descriptive approach. Descriptive research is a research strategy that
investigates events and phenomena in the lives of individuals and asks one or a group of individuals
to describe their lives. This information is then retrieved by the researcher in a descriptive chronology.
