5G　technology　continues　to　evolve,　and　its　potential　to　revolutionize　various　aspects　of　society　is　becoming　increasingly　evident.　However,　the　successful　adoption　and　utilization　of　5G　technology　depends　on　various　factors,　particularly　among　consumers　expected　to　be　early　adopters　and　critical　drivers　of　technological　advancements.　This　study　investigates　the　effect　of　social　influence,　environmental　awareness,　and　safety　affordance　on　Chinese　university　students＇　actual　use　of　5G　(AU5G)　technologies.　It　also　analyzed　the　mediating　role　of　trustworthiness　and　intention　to　use　5G　(ITU5G)　between　them　and　the　moderating　role　of　facilitation　conditions　between　trustworthiness　and　ITU5G.　Data　was　collected　from　university　students　(n　=　364)　in　Beijing　and　was　examined　employing　the　structural　equation　modelling　(SEM)　approach.　The　outcomes　confirm　that　trustworthiness　and　ITU5G　significantly　mediate　the　relationship　between　social　influence,　environmental　awareness,　and　safety　affordance　on　AU5G　technologies　among　Chinese　students.　Further,　the　supportive　facilitation　conditions　strengthen　the　relationship　between　trustworthiness　and　ITU5G.　These　findings　are　backed　by　UTAUT2　models　that　support　the　technology　acceptance　and　adoption　among　the　users.　The　study　outcomes　can　help　policymakers　design　strategies　to　address　potential　barriers　and　encourage　greater　uptake　of　5G　services　among　university　students.
