129 not unexpected. Undergraduate students are randomly assigned to a residential col- lege upon matriculation, and they remain members of that college for the duration of their undergraduate studies. Thus, it is natural that strong communities form around residential colleges. Additionally, the strong communities among undergrad- uate students of the same matriculation year are not surprising. Incoming students attend an orientation week together, are mostly assigned to share dormitory rooms with students of their year, and tend to spend time in courses with students of their year. Thus, it is also natural that a community structure exists among undergradu- ates of the same matriculation year. Finally, the lack of a strong community structure around majors can be explained by the fact that Rice undergraduates obtain liberal arts education (taking courses from many departments), and they often do not choose majors until the end of their sophomore year. Graduate students We now turn our focus to the graduate student population. Table 7.3 shows the modularity of the graduate student population when partitioned according to de- partment, academic school, and matriculation year.1 The results show a significant modularity for the communities based on department – in fact, a Q of 0.586 is ob- served. A similar modularity is observed when partitioning according to school – this is because each department is a member of exactly one school, and the partitioning 1Note that graduate students are not assigned to residential colleges, so that attribute is disre- garded here.PDF Image | Online Social Networks: Measurement, Analysis, and Applications to Distributed Information Systems
