Does that hold true now that we have magical facebook?
As someone who uses facebook a lot and has many far-away friends from sleep away camp, it seems like it only forces you to keep in touch if you want to be.
I don't facebook alone creates strong social connections. I'm facebook friends with a lot of the people from my school by I have little to do with them in my daily life.
It was more about ease-of-access to people you wouldn't keep in contact with. Facebook just makes it much easier.
Good point nonetheless.
I have no idea. I would generally expect people to have more in common with others they meet at university than with others they meet in high school (more segregation by ability via university choice; more segregation by interests via subject choice) and to choose friends who are more likely to remain a good match in terms of personality, interests, etc. (people can change a lot between, say, age 16 and age 20) -- it's not just a matter of it being easier to lose touch with your high-school friends than with your university friends.
