Roommate has no facebook - what does that mean?

Has she checked Myspace? Most of my friends have a Facebook, but some don’t. I would say roughly 10% of my high school senior class does not have one. Your daughter probably has a perfectly normal roommate. Just becuase she doesn’t wish to participate in one of the biggest generational trends doesn’t make her abnormal.

I’m guessing you received the name of the roommate in the mail. It is very possible that the person goes by a different name or a nickname, whereas the name sent to you is her legal name. Some people use nicknames for the Facebook profiles, so it’s possible she could be on Facebook and your daughter just didn’t find her.

Quite honestly I think you are overreacting. Having a child go to college is a stressful and life-changing event, but there’s no need to worry about every bump on the road.
