Internet use is rapidly increasing and excessive time on the Internet can lead to interpersonal or physical problems. Focusing on students in the Faculty of Health Sciences, this study aimed to survey student use of the Internet, and detect degree of influence of the learning environment. The study demonstrates that time spent on the Internet is longer for females than males. Respondents with high Internet use (over 5 hours a day) comprised 29% of the total sample and demonstrated limited time for learning and sleeping, and increased time for part-time working. Students who use the Internet less were more likely to select 'study' as a priority of college life, and considered their current course of study congruent with their plans. This study suggests that students with high Internet use may lose their sense of purpose to become medical specialists. Establishing a firm sense of purpose for one's future could be an essential factor to foster learning motivation, leading to increased levels of independent study and greater awareness of the learning environment.
