Abstract: Acculturation is the change in the original culture of one or both parties when people of different cultural groups are in continuous direct contact. This study aimed to investigate 1) the acculturation strategies of Chinese students at a Thai private university, 2) the effects of the chosen acculturation strategies on students’ life and 3) the effects of the chosen acculturation strategies on learning achievement. This study employed a mixed-methods approach to collect the quantitative and qualitative data. The sample consisted of 159 Chinese students, sampled from the target population of 263 Chinese students enrolling between 2019 and 2020 Academic Year. The instruments were the 35-item questionnaire and the in-depth semi-structured interview. The results of both quantitative and qualitative data analysis showed that most of the Chinese students in the sample used integration strategy, while a few students used assimilation strategy and separation strategy, with no student using marginalization strategy. The integration strategy that most students adopted had positive effects on students’ life and learning achievement. This study suggests that universities should provide more help during the acculturation stage of international students, and that international students can prepare themselves in advance to better adapt to the new environment.
