Long ago, Facebook (or The Facebook as it was originally called) was a place intended for college students. That was Mark Zuckerberg’s original idea. But, as we all know, Facebook became much, much bigger than that. Anyway, here we are some 16 years later and Facebook is not just a social network, but also a cultural phenomenon that has taken over the world.
To put things in perspective, Facebook has over 1.69 billion users and its net worth is around $ 527 billion. Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth is around $ 111 billion.
Facebook Campus is Facebook’s newest product that aims to be an exclusive social network for students. It is a place where students can connect with other students, enjoy college related news, be part of student groups, chat with other students, etc. It’s very similar to today’s Facebook, just for students.

Students can open an account with Campus using their .edu email address and their year of graduation. Once they sign up, they can customize their profile using their profile and cover photos, add information like their major, dorm, minor, off-campus interests, hometown, etc. The more details you can provide, the easier it will be for your classmates to find you and vice versa.
Campus is currently available only to students attending one of the 30 universities within the US These include Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, Rice University, and more. It’s a bit strange that Harvard University, where Facebook was born, isn’t on that list.
Most experts don’t think Zuckerberg is nostalgic for his student days and finishing what he originally intended to create. Instead, they believe Campus is an attempt by Facebook to keep the youngest on the platform.
