It’s past April 1, so Facebook is filled with two things—promposals and college decisions. While it’s OK be silly in one of these two, you don’t want to make a bad first impression when it comes to introducing yourself to prospective college friends. Here are five tips to navigating “accepted student” groups on Facebook.

1. Get a feel for the group.

There are all types of people in “accepted student” groups. There will be the over-sharers (the ones who will tell you all too much about their lives and their excitement), the silent lurkers (those people who “like” posts but never actually post), but most importantly, there are usually current students and employees in the group.

2. If you’re going to introduce yourself, be honest.

Often, people write a post to introduce themselves to the group. It can be difficult to put your personality and interests into words, so take your time—if you sound too much like a partier you could land a wild roommate, but if you oversell your Netflix obsession, people might think you’re a hermit. If you’re really stuck, ask your friends how they would describe you.

3. DON’T USE CAPITAL LETTERS.

People won’t know if you’re excited, yelling at them, or a psycho.

4. Use correct grammar and punctuation.

Congrats! You’re into college and the first thing you do? You decide to revert back to texting abbreviations and are suddenly incapable of using a period. No, you don’t need to use your SAT vocabulary, but a little editing can go a long way in making a first impression.

5. Ask questions—but not too many.

“Accepted student” groups are the perfect way to get your questions answered quickly and efficiently. Whether you need to know about majors or meal plans, posting a quick question is a sure-fire way to get a response; just don’t post so many that you freak out potential classmates.
