Abstract
This research delves into the perceptions, usage behaviors, and experiences of ChatGPT among students, encompassing both undergraduates and postgraduates, enrolled at a public university. Employing a convenient sampling technique, we collected responses from 255 participants via a structured questionnaire. The collected data underwent analysis through descriptive statistics and correlation assessments. The results of this investigation illuminate a prevalent positive perception of ChatGPT across all dimensions explored. Most notably, our study found no significant relationship between students' educational levels (undergraduate or postgraduate) and their perceptions, utilization patterns, or experiences with ChatGPT. These findings underscore the widespread acceptance and utility of ChatGPT within the academic sphere, transcending educational distinctions and reaffirming its value as a versatile tool for a diverse range of university students. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge surrounding the reception and integration of AI-driven language models, such as ChatGPT, within the educational landscape.
