Social Networking: An Enterprise for Students

Social networking sites are being developed and designed to suit specific purposes today. It is not confined to personal chatter and entertainment. Universities across the globe are creating their very own social network for students. Since 90% of students are internet users and are on social media, the best way to stay in touch with them is through these mediums. Some of the latest social networking sites feature special forums for connecting with your alumni, communicating with your colleagues and event being part of common events.

Campus Culture

Though the social media has been criticized for its distractions, if we move beyond that, students will vouch for how they have had the opportunities to learn beyond classroom centered syllabus. Many are able to find careers and jobs through university social network. University staff get to know the students more personally and vice versa.

Find the Right University

Since universities have their own latest social networking sites, college and university search has become easier than before and students can do a background check sitting on a chair through this online medium. You can get a glimpse of the university culture, the courses they hold and the staff.
