Research on student flourishing in higher education is crucial given the complexity of challenges faced by modern students. The competitive academic environment, high academic demands, and social pressures can significantly impact the mental well-being of students.The primary objective of this research is to identify and understand the challenges and opportunities students face in their efforts to thrive in the higher education environment. The study employed a survey approach, utilizing the Student Flourishing Index to measure various dimensions of student well-being. A diverse sample of 360 students from various disciplines participated in the survey. The results of the survey data analysis revealed specific challenges faced by students, including academic stress, social pressures, and emotional well-being. On a positive note, opportunities for improvement, such as enhanced support systems, targeted interventions, and the promotion of a positive learning environment, were identified. The study concludes that fostering student flourishing is a complex endeavor requiring a holistic approach. It emphasizes the need for educational institutions to systematically address the identified challenges and capitalize on opportunities to create a supportive atmosphere for student well-being. Recommendations for policymakers and education stakeholders are suggested to consider the survey findings when formulating strategies and policies.
