Is it worth getting Facebook just for offer holder group chats?

So I was wondering whether anybody who has Facebook and is on some of the vet med offer holder chats could tell me whether I'm missing out on anything? Nobody I know in my year uses FB so I didn't think it would be a problem, but I've been worried that I might be missing some information that the uni's put out, or that offer holders will start getting to know each other and I'll turn up on the first day feeling a bit lost!

I don't like FB and would rather not get it, so I just want to see whether it's worth it. I've got offers for Notts and Surrey, and am waiting to hear post-interview from Edinburgh, so any info regarding these unis would be useful!

Hi, my daughter didn’t have Facebook before uni but ended up getting it when she started. It wasn’t so much to join in the offer holder chats, it was more that arrangements for freshers too place using Facebook. Now she is finding that all arrangements for societies etc take place using it so I think she is glad she has got it.
