Facebook Freshmen, Watch Out For Roomsurf

Weird and bordering on creepy, Roomsurf has been presenting itself to high school seniors as a paid service for finding roommates on Facebook.

The company has little influence over how colleges match up roommates, but charges $4.95 to $9.95 for that, the New York Times reported. Prosepective students might be able to request each other as roomies after meeting one another in the groups Roomsurf has created on Facebook.

Roomsurf appears to have formed groups for more than 150 different colleges’ incoming class of 2015.
