DD is a junior at an ivy; she told me only the weird or out of touch kids go into the random pool for roommates these days. She used the facebook group to connect with her freshman year roommate, who ended up being an overnight camp acquaintance of a friend from high school, and they requested to be placed together as freshman. They had a good year together and are friendly. DD's best friend ended up being a HS classmate of the freshman roommate. Admittedly this kind of insular. DD attended a private and her friends are similar to her but shes happy so Im not going to worry.
That said, Facebook's popularity is rapidly dropping off (DD#2 is a HS senior and barely uses it). Its possible there is a different method this year.
She sounds like an ignorant bitch.
