<p>Carleton is now posting student blogs on its admissions website so you can get some insight on the daily life of several students.</p>

<p>I was just coming here to post that link, but you beat me to it!</p>
<p>There are 5 admissions bloggers now, 2 girls and 3 guys...2 freshmen, 2 seniors, and a sophomore.</p>
<p>There's also the Planet Carleton page, which pulls in personal blogs from Carleton students, alumni, faculty, staff, and also some of the "official" news sources at the College:

<p>lol i love the parents on carleton forum. you guys are the best advocates of the school.</p>
<p>I think most of us wish we had gone to Carleton.</p>
<p>As a Princeton alumn, I can say without any hesitation that I wish I had gone to Carleton. </p>
<p>BTW -- on the drive in to work this morning, I listened to the news on public radio, and heard a report that gave nationwide statistics on the percentage of businesses that use applicant's Facebook pages in making hiring decisions. I can't remember the percent (sorry), but I do remember the report stating that of the companies that do look at Facebook, one third made a decision NOT to hire based on the information they found.</p>
<p>These are GREAT! I'm going to send the link to all the prospies on my list (I'm an alum admissions rep).</p>
<p>And even tho I <em>did</em> go to Carleton, I'm definitely wishing I could go again:)</p>
<p>Carl</a> Me is a fairly new unofficial blog about campus news and issues that might be of interest to prospective students.</p>
