Based on 245 valid responses from a questionnaire survey conducted in October 2024, the findings reveal a significant positive correlation between sociocultural adaptation and mental health. Recommendations are provided for Hong Kong SAR universities to enhance support systems aiding students’ acculturative challenges from Chinese mainland.
