<p>We received a mailer asking for a picture and interests for the Freshman Record. What percentage of students participate? Purchase? In the age of Facebook it seems obsolete, especially paying $36 for that type of information.</p>
<p>Never heard of it!</p>
<p>Don’t waste your money.</p>
<p>I don’t know a single person who ever bought one. I also never heard it ever mentioned again after summer before freshman year. And when I heard it mentioned, it was on the USC Facebook Group where people asked if they should buy it.</p>
<p>Students end up on lists for a lot of junk mail. You’ll receive mailings for student directories such as a freshman record, dubious honor societies, resident hall associations, etc. They are all unneeded and just another way to extract some money from parents.</p>
<p>I found my Freshman Record recently and laughed when I saw the photos and responses from a lot of my friends (as well as myself). I would say buy it if you want to make fun of your friends after you graduate.</p>
