[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole social media roommate search process sounds awful, like a [b]mini virtual version of sorority rush![/b][/quote]

I was just talking to my DD about this.  It definitely is easier for very outgoing kids.  There was a questions on one of the pages here about whether the social media page reflects the personality of the student, if they show they have a lot of friends.  A year or so ago, I remember reading on here about prepping your socials for rush and talked to a friend who has a daughter at a southern school.  The advice was to have lots of posts with girlfriends.They said to make sure it wasn't the same friends in all the pics and don't include pics with boys unless it's a long-term boyfriend.  Also, vacation photos were good, too.  I definitely felt a lot of feelings about all of that.  It's like LinkedIn, but for personality.  A lot of it is curated and doesn't tell the whole story, but it's how a first impression is formed.

Y'all, we had it so much easier in the 90s.[/quote]

This jives with what I’ve seen with my DD and her friends as well. They spend hours deciding what photos to post and in what order. Posts with friends is very important in their eyes as a social cue. [/quote]
