Abstract
Social media platforms have become an integral part of the lives of university students, impacting various aspects of their social interactions and learning behaviors. This study aims to investigate Ambrose Ali University (AAU) students' perceptions of social media's role in facilitating peer-to-peer learning. Using a descriptive survey design, data was collected from a randomly selected sample of 140 students at AAU. The study found that students predominantly used Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and YouTube for social interactions and academic purposes, with Twitter being less commonly utilized. While many students held positive perceptions about social media's potential to enhance learning experiences and foster collaboration, some expressed
reservations. Benefits of social media in education included improved access to study resources and enhanced communication with peers. However, challenges such as distractions, privacy concerns, and the need to balance social and academic interactions
were also identified.
