For uk students Facebook is almost a requirement of the social life. Few people have other contact lists, if you aren't on Facebook you can't be contacted. Event invitation is done through Facebook - the event is rarely advertised elsewhere nor is it a deliberate topic conversation.
The few people I knew who didn't use Facebook at uni ended up using it through others whether they are were willing to admit it or not.
- saurik 9y agoI live at a University in California where I am part-time faculty, and if you don't use Facebook you are essentially screwed: even local government ends up using Facebook as its primary means of disseminating information as literally no on reading uses anything but Facebook for events and the web is sadly dead (it only has meaning if linked to from a Facebook post).
- Eerie 9y ago>For uk students Facebook is almost a requirement of the social life. So, are you telling me that students, people at the stage of life when they are most rebellious, and their minds are most flexible, just won't be able to find any replacement for Facebook, if they wanted to? (◔_◔)
- Normal_gaussian 9y agoYou've taken something that said 'almost' and taken it to the extremes. > any replacement for Facebook, if they wanted to That requires organising several thousand people who don't want to to change platform. Perform whatever gymnastics you want and break all of the rules - that task ain't getting easier.
