Temple is one of five colleges in the country testing out a new application that lets users find their own roommates through Facebook. Sean Killion of Temple's Office of Housing and Residential Life assists in matching students to live together in dorm rooms. He explains that RoomBug is an application offered through Facebook that asks students to fill in preferences — like what time of day they like to wake up and what type of music they like. Killion says 700 freshmen used RoomBug and about half found matches.
