CalChat is a web app that hosts chatrooms for every class and building on campus with the goal of connecting the cal campus community. By logging in with Facebook, students can talk to fellow students in the same building or class, make friends, find study partners, and stay in the loop.
when going to chat/:room we need to run a validation check that the room being added is a valid one (matched against the db)
currently, the skeleton code for that is in routes/index.js:93 but can be subject to change.
this might also depend on the dept. abbreviations issue #5 somehow (user wants cs188 -> COMP SCI 188 on db)
