<p>The Washington Post had an interesting article about freshman looking for roomies on Facebook:</p>
<p>College</a> freshmen turn to Facebook to find roommates - The Washington Post</p>
<p>My D graduated this year so it was a bit early for her to have used Facebook, but I think she would have if it were more common then. She had a nice roommate her freshman year, but they mostly respectfully coexisted and rarely saw each other after freshman year. Also, the the hall/dorm dynamics were not to her advantage, so the bonding will hallmates I had hoped for didn't happen. Fortunately, she made friends from campus activities and roomed with people she had met there for the subsequent three years. </p>
<p>I wonder if anyone's daughters/sons have gone or are going this route and how it turns out?</p>
