How?! I gave up after like 10 minutes, I'm just not cut out for the stalker life, its just not a virtue I have
Search for her first name and university. She'll appear near the top. If you don't know someone's uni, a quick check of their post history will normally do it.
Really? All I've given is first name, uni, college, subject. Sounds a lot, but if I had the same info for, say, someone at Cambridge, I doubt I'd find them. Is a simple facebook search really enough? And how can you be sure it's me you've found? [Edit: Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that ]
Being at Cambridge would make it a bit harder, because Nexus makes it very easy to find other Oxford students. Given your uni, first name and college, I narrowed it down to about 5 people in a minute. And then a few minutes with Google did the rest. You did make it easy though - you have quite a lot of information available to non-friends on Facebook, so I can see, for example, your friends [I assume!] calling you 'Meatball', which confirms it quite nicely, even without the URL!
But with someone like Polarity (I had a go at finding him, because he suggested he was hard to find), I have a few people that seem to fit, but because the profiles don't show any information, I have no way of comfirming any of them easily.

But how do you know if its them or not? If I typed in "debbie glasgow uni" will you appear near the top? And I'm sure there is more than 1 debbie at glasgow uni

EDIT: What if people hide their extra info?
She's given her surname out on TSR too, that would probably help you. I can see her Twitter, Myspace and Facebook...
