In 1973, she became a medical student at the Christian University of Indonesia, but in the third year she quit to follow her father who was appointed as an ambassador in South Korea. She subsequently married Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 1976. Ani later continued studying at the Terbuka University and graduated with bachelor's degree in Political Science in 1998.
