34. ROI
“I would also use the Facebook group to ask questions I
may have had about campus, my schedule, meal
plans, orientation, etc. I cannot say enough how much help
this group has given me!” - Caleb
“The group helped me make friends immediately once I
was on campus. Most of the time I would meet people in
line at dinner and I'd notice they were from the Facebook
group and we'd both say "I know you!” It made me feel as if I
was already a part of campus before I even arrived.” - Jody
