Social Networking your way into College

Not exactly into college, but social networking will at least help you with the task of making friends.

Monique Yin (who is mentioned in a New York Times Article found here), was accepted into NYU for the fall of next year. She has already made countless acquaintances and friends on the count of her making a Facebook group for admitted students to the class of 2011. Groups have met up in various places around the country, all spawning from Monique’s group.

Facebook and other social networking websites have almost redefined a student’s transition from college to high school. All of sudden there is a world of new people to meet with similar interests, all easy to find at the click of a few links. It gives more stability to students who might worry about being friendless the first few weeks of college.

This is just another example of how social networking communities have taken over, and drastically changed something. Facebook has given students a whole new social view on college. Social networks are causing people to re-think the way the originally had made friends, just like social networks give people new ways to discover music. The internet has truly merged into the lives of Generation Y.
