Facebook eases freshmen fears, foster friendship

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Wellesley, Massachusetts (CNN) — Sang-Hee Min and her college roommate met each other this July and began planning for their year together. During the summer, they chatted about shared interests, discussed ground rules for living together, and agreed on what to pack.

But as their relationship grew closer, the two girls couldn’t have been farther apart — Min lived in Seattle, her roommate in New York. This fall, when they arrive at Wellesley College as entering freshmen, they’ll finally see each other in person for the first time.

Min is just one of the many college freshmen who will be stepping onto campuses this fall with a jump-start on their new social lives, thanks to friendships they’ve formed during the summer on the social networking site Facebook.com.
