Facebook has announced a new feature for some students in the United States, called Facebook Campus. Campus has its own section within the Facebook mobile app (not yet, it seems available on the Web), where users can meet and interact with other members of their University community.
To use Facebook Campus, users will simply need to have a address their University email address and/or state their year of graduation.
Campus uses a separate profile from the main Facebook page so you can hide or change information such as where you live or your profile picture.
With this feature, students can more easily connect with other students from the same college, and access community-specific events and groups. These events and teams are not visible outside the Campus.
The Campus has its own separate news feed, so you can follow what's happening in your community, a facebook that lets you find users by year of graduation or class.
Facebook pages representing Universities can also join Facebook Campus and will of course be able to participate in groups and events for that University. They won't be able to see the list of students or find specific conversations. You can learn more about it privacy of Campus from here.
The feature is only available at a few Universities in the United States, so not everyone will have the opportunity to try it out right now. However, it is very likely that we will see it sometime later.
