The quantitative correlational research method deployed, and the sample consisted of 393 students from the class of 2022 at one private university in west Indonesia, using a total sampling technique. The Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) questionnaire and the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) in Indonesian had used as research instruments. The chi-square test was applied to analyze the data. The results found a significant correlation between resilience and stress among first-year students in blended learning (p=0.041). The students should be able to improve resilience in the context of self-confidence when facing learning stress by placing someone near to them who can be to ask for advice and support, as well as setting up time for study based on priorities.
