Dos and Don’ts of College Admit Facebook Groups
Congratulations on your college admission! Many colleges have Facebook groups or other social media pages for newly admitted students. These groups can be a great resource for connecting with fellow students and getting information about the college, but it's important to be aware of the dos and don'ts of posting in these groups.
Dos:
Introduce yourself and express your excitement for joining the college community. This can help you connect with other students and start building relationships early on.
Share any relevant and helpful information that could benefit other members of the group. For example, if you find a great study spot on campus, share it with the group.
Ask questions if you need clarification on any issues related to the college. Don't be afraid to ask for help - that's what the group is there for!
Respect others' opinions and avoid posting offensive or derogatory comments. Everyone has different perspectives and experiences, so be open and respectful.
Don'ts:
Don't ask questions that can easily be found on the college's official website or by contacting the college administration. Before you post a question, do a quick search to see if the information is readily available.
Don't post content that is inappropriate or offensive to other group members. School administrators in these groups have taken action based on activity in these groups before.
Don't spam the group. People remember the names that post frequently, so waiting to make first impressions in person is better.
College admit Facebook groups are a great way to connect with your fellow students and get information about your college. By following these dos and don'ts, you can get your questions answered, build early connections, and avoid giving others negative impressions of yourself. Congratulations again on your admission, and best of luck as you begin your college journey!
