Today, due to the expansion of the Internet in higher education and universities, an important part of the students' everyday life is linked to the Internet. This study is based on the assumption that students in the process of their academic lives keep shaping and strengthening their dimensions of identity. The adopted research methodology is ethnography. In this research, 21 university students of Ramsar Payame Noor University and 36 students of Ramsar Islamic Azad University, both male and female, were interviewed. The results of this study indicate that the Internet has a significant presence in the students' everyday life and plays a substantial role in all aspects of their identity, i.e., Student Identity, Generational Identity and Citizenship Identity. However, the role of the Internet in the students' everyday life was more considerable in case of Generational Identity, i.e., Entertainment and Leisure Time.
