Parents Researching Children's Roommates on FacebookFacebook has become popular enough that even your parents are using it. In fact, parents are using it not just to keep an eye on their kids, but also their kids' college roommates.

It seems that colleges across the country are receiving complaints from parents who don't like their kids' roommates' Facebook profiles. Messages about parties, pictures including the ubiquitous red keg cup, and other questionable content, has put parents on edge.

Colleges will be mailing out roommate assignments in the coming weeks and the higher learning institutions are bracing themselves for a large influx of requests from parents for changes to their children's' living arrangements.
