Abstract

 The increasing use of social media has significantly reshaped how students interact, communicate, and study. While social networking platforms offer various academic benefits, excessive use can distract students and negatively affect their academic performance. This study investigates the relationship between social media usage patterns and academic outcomes among university students.
