<p>Yes, I think that the Macalester 2013 facebook group is really helping the freshman class get connected before they arrive on campus. My son is on the 5th floor of Dupre and it seems that 25+ kids from the floor have checked in on facebook. That’s great! </p>
<p>At first my son was a little disappointed, but now he sees his single as a positive. While it is going to take a little more effort to stop by the single next door and say ‘hey, let’s go to lunch!’, I’m certain that the kids will handle it fine.</p>
