Don't feel bad if your school isn't on the list -- mine wasn't for a long time.

One more thing, it only allows SCHOOL email addresses to register -- this is how they verify that you actually attend the school you say you do. For alumni, if you have "email for life" -- or, your school automatically forwards your school email to your personal account, that is allowed.

Awww man. No SCSU????

*angrily shoves hands in pockets and kicks rocks*

I won't hold my breath waiting for them to add it in.

Indiana isn't on the list either. :rolleyes:

we'll walk together and kick some rocks.. cuz we're not on there either...:mad:

never mind.. Arizona just made it!!! if nayone is on here look me up...

I'm on for Georgia!!

They add new schools every two weeks now, and they seem to be adding a lot lately, so if your school is decent-sized it'll probably be up sooner or later.

Its an interesting site, but not for alumni because you need a yourschool.edu e-mail address.

yeah my school isnt on there either

also partyincollege.com is a website a couple of my guy friends started up while in college. they started with NC State (which now boasts about 12,000 users for a school of 27,000) and they've expanded to many other schools all over the country. :)

Another site that I would guess is pretty similar to that one is collegefacebook.com. It looks like it has close to 100 schools on it, and is the same deal, must have a .edu email addy. I love it, I've found friends from Highschool that I haven't talked to in years on there, its a great way to get back in touch with people! Plus its pretty secure, you can make it so your "profile" is only visible to people from your school, or have nothing on it, or available to everyone.

They just added Hawai`i two weeks ago and my hawaii.edu email address still works!

Man I wish we had stalkerrific sites like these when I was in college!

Elon just got facebook.com. We're all going crazy over it right now. They even put it on our news page :p

It used to be cool because it was only the good schools. Now every bad school is listed on there and Devry is probably in the works.

This has seriously become the new obsession for everyone at my school it seems like.

I swear to you, I was out at the bar on Thursday night and I saw this girl run up to a guy standing right behind me to give him a hug. They hug and then she was like "facebook buddy! how are you?" I thought it was funny, but I was also wasted. I really hope she already knew him IRL and not just through facebook b/c that would be...weird.

Also as H so eloquently put it...there are a LOT of people at my school and they all look better on the internet than in real life. (Myself included ;) )
