Facebook Inc will soon let college students create special profiles specifically for connecting with classmates and joining campus events and groups – a return of sorts to the company’s early days when Facebook was exclusive to college students after chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg founded the social network in his Harvard dorm.
The new product, called Facebook Campus, will be part of the company’s existing service, but users must create a special profile using their university email address. The profile will be visible only to other students at their college and students will be able to join groups, find campus events and participate in classroom discussions.
