A cooperative is a legal entity that functions to fulfill the needs and desires of its members collectively based on the principle of togetherness. In the world of education, student cooperatives are an important forum for supporting the development of students' economic skills and understanding. Awareness of the importance of cooperatives is very necessary to attract students' interest in being actively involved in them. The aim of this research is to analyze the level of student understanding and interest in joining a cooperative. The research method used is a literature review study using a systematic approach to carry out data analysis using a simplified approach. Article searches used several sources from databases available on Scite and Google Scholar. The results of this research show that the level of understanding and interest of students in joining a cooperative is usually influenced by several factors and it can be concluded that the motivation to join a cooperative, the benefits obtained by members, and the quality of services provided have a big impact on the level of active participation of cooperative members. A good understanding of cooperatives is very important to encourage members, especially students, to become more involved in cooperative activities.
