Abstract: With the development of technology, the development of smart campuses has become a key direction for the development of information technology in higher educational institutions. To achieve smart campus development, it is essential to identify the key factors influencing the acceptance of smart campus initiatives among students. In the study, the research model with social influence and facilitating conditions as the independent variables, behavioral intention as the mediating variable, and adoption of smart campus as the dependent variable was constructed, and the research model was analyzed empirically by using structural equation modeling with the students of nine higher educational institutions in the area of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. The results of the study show that (1) There was a strong positive effect of social influence and facilitating conditions on behavioral intention, and the influence factors are respectively 0.449 and 0.265. (2) Social influence and facilitating conditions not only directly affect students' adoption behavior but also play an indirect role through behavioral intention, and the proportions of the indirect effect are 57.9% and 23.5%, respectively.
