The students formed fast friendships over the summer on Facebook.com. Ryan also started chatting on Facebook with an upperclassman before she moved to Boulder, asking him how long it takes to walk between certain buildings and for other college advice.

“It’s nice to have already-built friendships,” she said.

Social networking has drastically changed the age-old tradition of moving into the dorms and starting a school year on an unfamiliar campus.
