The Internet as a source of information, a means of communication, a platform for self-presentation is every year becoming more and more part of a person's everyday life. This process is most active and relevant for young people, especially students. It is this social group that not only adapts to new conditions more easily than others, but also promotes them among other layers of the population. The epidemic of COVID-19, and then the war in Ukraine, made the Internet an indispensable element of the daily life of users all over the world, and in our country in particular. There is a lack of sociological research on the use of the Internet by students as a social group and in terms of the combination of Internet awareness and Internet practices of users in Ukraine, so the findings once again emphasizes its relevance. The main tasks that the authors set themselves were to find out for what purpose Ukrainian students use the network and how much time they spend there. The results of the study showed that according to the results of the comparison of the respondents' stories about their own Internet practices and the content analysis data of their screenshots, the declarations of 16 of the 24 interviewed respondents were not confirmed. The article presents the empirical results of a sociological study aimed at identifying the peculiarities of the dynamics of the use of the Internet by Ukrainian students in everyday life, in particular, in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine restrictions. The main practices of the Internet among students were studied and analysed, and the interpretation of the obtained results was described in the article.
