Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) usage on students' study habits in universities in Cross River State. To achieve this aim, four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Survey research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 503 respondents was drawn for the study. The questionnaire was the major instrument used for data collection. The data collected were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at .05 level of significance. The results of the analysis showed that computer usage, internet usage and mobile phone usage significantly influenced students' study habits, the results further showed that social networking has no significant influence on students study habits. Based on the findings, it was recommended that, the government should provide ICT gadgets in universities in Cross River State; information literacy should be taught as a general course in first year in universities in Cross River State; parents should endeavour to provide ICT gadgets with internet connectivity for their children at all levels of education and also monitor them to be sure that these ICT gadgets are used positively; students should learn to use social networking sites constructively; mobile phones in the classroom should not be banned but should be welcomed with open arms and used as a teaching tool and not a means of distraction as so many teachers perceive them to be; use of University of Calabar e-library by students should be cost-free.
