<p>It's not much fun, anyways, having a facebook account for a college you're not going to. I have an account (no you can't use it :P), but not for the college I'm actually going to - 'cause one of the colleges I got accepted to gives accepted students email addresses right away. I'm looking forward to making an account with the college I'm going to (won't get an email until I'm there), so I can make an actual profile and meet people and stuff. :)</p>
<p>Honestly, just wait until college. The only thing you'll be able to do is edit their wall. You can't join groups if they are not within your university (so if you get an account, you're limited to that school) or do anything else for that matter. </p>
<p>The only thing to do would be to stare and drool over profiles of your friends in college and that sounds pretty pathetic. Get on with your life; you can e-mail your college friends if you really need to or call them on their cell. Now, if they didn't give any of that information out to you, re-think the status of that friendship.</p>
<p>just make one up. anything .edu email would probably work.</p>
<p>Errr you'll need access to the email address, to be able to click the confirmation link...</p>
<p>wait until college you noobs, that's the point, no one wants to let high school students use it.</p>
<p>joev, are you serious about your ex g/f's account? That's one of the creepiest things I've ever heard.</p>
<p>"Xanga and facebook are completely different."</p>
<p>what are the differences?</p>
<p>Can't you just make up a .edu email?</p>
<p>How about you try doing that.</p>
<p>they only except certain .edu addresses</p>
<p>Hahahah. Facebook sends a LINK for confirmation. So you can't just make up a .edu e-mail.</p>
<p>uhhh.... xanga is like a journal / blog and facebook is not</p>
<p>Can't you just make up a .edu email?</p>
<p>Nope, those are reserved for educational institutes only, and not only that, but you need an approved college.</p>
<p>That being said, anything under security is asking be broken. I can imagine that it wouldn't be hard for a person to find lots of others with various school emails, and mirror the thefacebook without any kind of registration requirements so that anyone could at least see all the public profiles.</p>
<p>i dont know why a lot of ppl here are scoffing at the OPs request... no offense, but you guys aren't in college yet either. its natural to be curious about it, especially when it seems so shrouded in mystery. maybe i'm missing out on the infinite wisdom one recieves two months out of high school, but as far as im concerned, some people are acting quite silly. :P</p>
<p>And we waited until we got into our schools and got our email addresses.</p>
<p>There's a big difference between not being in college BUT already accepted, will attend this fall, and already have a valid school email address and not being in college, haven't graduated high school, and asking to use someone else's personal accounts tied to a college email.</p>
<p>It destroys the integrity of the entire system that is the Facebook.</p>
<p>It's so annoying when people try to do things to circumvent the system. If it's no big deal, then these restrictions wouldn't be created in the first place.</p>
<p>I completely agree with some above posters about the fact that if you're friends already with the people that you're trying to look up profiles for, then you can just talk to those people for the information or ask them for the special link that doesn't require credentials (accessible to anyone with the link). Shouldn't you know most of the info there anyways. It's nothing much more than a name, picture, college goals, contact information, and favorites.</p>
<p>And lets just say that you do use someone elses account, are your college friends going to add someone they don't know from some random school? Does the real owner of the account that you're borrowing want to be associated with your friends? Or even have their personal info exposed to you and your friends? And potentially have you screw with it and do something stupid? If you're such a legitimate person that you wouldn't mess with their stuff, then you wouldn't be taking someone else's identity and credentials. Go ask a good friend or something for their email and password, not random people in a forum.</p>
<p>and some of us ARE in college.</p>
<p>what a strange request</p>
