Freshmen entering Temple this fall don't just get to choose their classes and their clothes — they get to pick their roommates. Temple is one of five schools in the nation beta-testing an application called RoomBug that allows students to use the information in Facebook profiles to find the roommate of their dreams. Freshman Linsey Tomasi is very neat and, as a pre-pharmacy major, will need lots of time to study. She liked using Roombug, as it was an easy way to find the three roommates with whom she’ll share a suite.
