The results of this study indicate that amount of money they get per month and frequency they go outing in a month will influence students’ spending habits. However , these findings are only true for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia students and cannot be generalized to other university students. The same study needs to be conducted with students from other universities to see if there are any similarities with the factors that will influence students’ choice in their spending habits. The result of this study indicate that female students indicated that the internet are very useful for students for studies purposes, entertainment and others as long as we are able to use the internet in the proper way. However these findings are only true for civil engineering female students and cannot be generalized to other university students. The same study needs to be conducted with students from other universities to see if they are only similarities with the determination on how well the respondents manage the usage of internet and the main purposes of internet usage among female students.
