Facebook launches Facebook Campus, a college-only space designed to help students connect with classmates over shared interests which makes it easier to find and start conversations within the college community.

Facebook Campus is a dedicated section of the app designed for students, with a campus profile that’s different from their main Facebook profile. To start this, students need to share their college email and graduation year while sharing their major classes, hometown, and minor is optional. With the Campus Profile, students can discover Groups and Events unique to their school, and connect with classmates who share similar interests. Information and content shared on Campus can only be seen by people within Campus.

Key features of Facebook Campus include Campus-only News Feed which lets students create study groups, plan virtual concerts, or ask advice with college-only Groups and events. Another key feature is the Campus Directory made to find people and link together with all with the same major, class, and more. Lastly, Campus Chats lets students create chat rooms for their dorm, clubs, or any other groups they’re part of on Facebook Campus.

Facebook Campus is currently available to select universities and colleges in the US (Benedict College; Brown University; California Institute of Technology; College of William & Mary; Duke University; Florida International University; Georgia Southern University; Georgia State University; Johns Hopkins University; Lane College; Lincoln University (Pennsylvania); Middlebury College; New Jersey Institute of Technology; Northwestern University; Rice University; Sarah Lawrence College; Scripps College; Smith College; Spelman College; Stephen F Austin State University; Tufts University; University at Albany – State University of New York; University of Hartford; University of Louisville; University of Pennsylvania; University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire; Vassar College; Virginia Tech; Wellesley College; and Wesleyan University).
