Been to Pesantren

Never have. Do Assalaam a traditional pesantren or modern? How about the number of its students? Tell us a little. Nice to meet and discuss with you...

Thank you for sharing. Hm ... a tight schedule. I am an energy therapist and never be students (santri). Maybe I know some religious teacher (ustadz/kyai/habib). Around Java and Bali, and discuss religion with them. I call it "pesantren jalanan"

Its full name is "Islamic Modern Boarding School of Assalaam". Well, as a teenager , living in pesantren was so awful. Everyday we had to wake up at 3 am - 4 am . While the class ended at 9 pm, and my tasks always done after 1 am. So, I had a proper time to sleep only when I was at class. hahaha.. Assalaam has a lot of students. Over 400 students in one grade, there are 3 grades of junior high school ,3 grades of senior high school, and 1 grade of pre-senior high school. But even I was living at the same place with the male students, we were separated most of the time. Even in the class. So, we couldn't talk to each other. It made me suffering a lot. haha.. So, were you a student of pesantren too, sir? Or you just like visiting pesantren?

As students, you are certainly more about boarding schools, compared to me, because I was just watching from outside and talked with several teachers and students there. There is a book written by Martin van Bruinessen titled: "Kitab Kuning, Pesantren dan Tarekat".
