As reported in the USA Today, the pre-frosh aren't the only ones scouring Facebook to check out their new roommate. The parents are looking at the newbies, too.

More and more parents are complaining to university housing officials, citing that they are not too pleased with Facebook profiles of the ones who will be sharing quarters with their spawn.

Most housing officials told the USA Today that "party-related content" on Facebook was the primary concern for parents. But, of course, not at SU. Residential Life A.D. Robin Berkowitz-Smith said race, religion, and sexual orientation were the top concerns. Parents want you white, Jewish, and well, questionable?

My top concerns with this article:
1) Freshmen: Why are your parents on Facebook?
2) Freshmen: Why are your parents bigots? We all want to be promiscuous drunks.
3) Freshmen: When are you going to let go of your mother's teats?

Trust me, when you tell the mom and pop "I'm going to live with my randomly-picked Asian, Scientologist, quadrosexual, Boston Red Sox-lovin' roommate and we're going to be best friends!" you'll feel truly liberated.
