Perhaps nostalgic for its Harvard days, Facebook is testing a feature that allows users with authenticated .edu email addresses to create groups for students at their universities.
TechCrunch reported that Brown and Vanderbilt are the only schools with the new feature to date, but Facebook is considering rolling it out to other universities so that students can create groups for dorms, classes, clubs, parties, and other entities.
