Social Media in College

Social media and college almost go hand in hand. There are a few college courses that even use social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to start discussion pages and post content related to class. College age kids use social media a lot.
According to a 2013 E-Expectations report, we see that college students are using social media more and more and there seems to be no end in sight.



Some people think that college students are wasting their time on social media and that they can be doing a lot more with that time like studying. Students are able to get newer and sleeker phones and these phones make visiting all of these sites even more convenient. Nothing sums this up better than the college explorer study that was done by Re:Fuel. It is amazing how even a generation ago, college students went to the library and actually checked out books and did research that way. College students today cannot even imagine doing a research paper without having the internet available to do all of their research.



The most commonly used social media today are Facebook, Twitter, and SnapChat. There are millions of college students that use all three of these every single day. As the world becomes more interconnected, college students want to stay connected with each other.

This would allow for one person to have a firm mattress while the other person has a soft one, or for one person to have an electric blanket while the other one can sleep blissfully in the chilly night air that they prefer. Sometimes a split king is made for people with medical issues so that the person needing specific medical bedding -- like a bed that sits up and reclines automatically for example -- can have it on their own side but not on the side of the person who is not in need

History of The College Dorm Room

For centuries now, the college experience has long been associated with living in dormitories. From the first university in the United States the modern colleges and universities of today, students have had the opportunity and experience of living with one another at a pivotal time in their lives. All students in dorms are relatively young, typically between 18 and 23 years old, and all of them have a goal of getting a degree in mind. It's an experience that defines those first moments in an adult life, and that helps students learn the importance of responsibility, the benefit of independence and the joys of student camaraderie. However, while the general experience has remained the same, the dorms themselves have changed a lot over the years. From the archaic and cold buildings that were built hundreds of years ago to the modern dorms of today that more closely resemble resorts, the style and feel of college dorms has continued to change over time.
