Students studying at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences use social media longer than students in other faculties to be able to communicate with social media groups. At the same time, students of the Faculty of Engineering and Dentistry stated that they love social media, care about being aware of current events, and their first job is to use social media when they wake up every morning. In particular, 4th grade students spend a lot of time on social media and prefer to be on social media even when someone is around. Students also use social media a lot to take part in humanitarian social projects. The same students stated that when they spend 1-3 hours on social media in one day, they stay longer on social media to be able to communicate with social media groups, so they feel comfortable and feel free. However, the students in question stated that when they spend 5 hours or more on social media in one day, they have disrupted their jobs and realized that their productivity decreased due to social media. These students who use social media at the level of addiction have both low (1.00-1.99) and medium (2.5-2.99) GPA. These students use social media longer to keep in touch with social media groups. They also use social media a lot to see / share some special announcements. Students with both medium (2.00-2.49) and high (3.00 and above) GPA stated that their efficiency decreased due to social media, therefore they do not use social media unless necessary.</p>
