As the name implies, Facebook Campus was built to work with the students of a single school, so the feeling on Rice University’s network could be totally different from the one put in place for the New Jersey Institute of Technology. All students need to get started, apart from matriculating at a supported school, is to punch in their college email and graduation year.
Automatically, a student’s name, profile photo, and hometown will be transferred from their regular Facebook profile to their Campus profile, but since college is to some extent about starting fresh, kids can later edit most of those details. Once that’s all done, students can stay updated with the campus-specific news feed.
What really makes this feature special is that it works like the company’s namesake – the student directories usually passed out at the beginning of the year. On-Campus, you can search for other students based on their “class, major, year, and more.”
The only issue is, since Facebook Campus usage is purely voluntary, a student searching for everyone who attends a specific lecture probably won’t be able to locate every single person. There is one more thing Facebook Campus shares with the Facebook of yore: You won’t see it everywhere just yet.
At the time of launch, the feature is only available around 30 schools around the US, including well-known names like Brown, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, Vassar, and the Universit of Pennsylvania, alongside smaller institutions like Spelman College, Middlebury College, and Scripps College.
