« It’s high time we recognize that college isn’t just about formalized learning 
and skills training, but also a socialization process with significant implications
for the future. The social networks that youth build in college have long-lasting
implications for youth’s future prospects. One of the reasons that the American 
college experience is so valuable is because it often produces diverse networks 
that enable future opportunities. This is also precisely what makes elite colleges
elite; the networks that are built through these institutions end up shaping many
aspects of power. When less privileged youth get to know children of powerful families,
new pathways of opportunity and tolerance are created. But when youth use Facebook
to maintain existing insular networks, the potential for increased structural inequity
is great. »
