A multilingual environment is a common phenomenon in higher education institutions, including at Medan State University (UNIMED). The diversity of languages ​​used by students, such as Indonesian, Karo, Nias, and various other regional languages, impacts individual language skills. This study aims to analyze the Multilingual Environment as a Means of Developing UNIMED Students' Language Skills. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that a multilingual environment has a positive influence on improving language skills, especially in vocabulary, cross-cultural understanding, and communication skills. However, there are also negative impacts such as language interference and excessive code-mixing. Thus, appropriate learning strategies are needed to maximize the benefits of a multilingual environment.
