[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d love rave reviews or horror stories about how first year students are welcomed and supported when they start. It seems like there’s a huge range in how much orientation time they get. Also, which schools handle roommate finding well? [b]The Facebook self-matching[/b] that happens at a lot schools seems daunting and other schools claim random matching is best. Thoughts? [/quote] Are any teenagers on Facebook?[/quote] No, but admissions office will usually set up a FB page for newly-admitted students. Grad schools also do this. And, yes, it often becomes a source for finding roommates. [/quote] Teens don’t usually have facebook, but they create one just for the purpose of joining the facebook group. When my dd graduated in 2019, she was actually shocked to find that a lot of teens in NYC actually used facebook before college groups. [/quote]
