Best College "Blogs?"

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I have noticed that a lot of colleges are now using "blogs" to communicate with prospective students and families. Do you know of any particularly good "blogs" I can direct students towards if they have questions about a school?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>SLU has good student blogs...I actually know one of the girls:</p>

<p>Saint</a> Louis University True SLU Blogs : Saint Louis University : SLU</p>

<p>Carleton College also has student blogs, and I do know one of the bloggers.</p>

<p>I've also seen student blogs at WPI and MIT, both of which have admissions rep blogs in addition to student blogs.</p>

<p>Absolutely MIT.</p>

<p>Yea, MIT has the best student blogs of any I've seen.</p>

<p>I agree with MIT. Johns Hopkins, Chicago, and UVA have pretty nice blogs too.</p>

<p>Hopkins</a> Interactive</p>

<p>Notes</a> from Peabody: The UVA Application Process</p>

<p>There was a fairly comprehensive thread on this a while back:

<p>The "Notes from Peabody" blog that IBclass references is by "Dean J" who's a CC regular.</p>

<p>Wesleyan's Wesleying is one of the best.</p>

<p>UNC's blog was awesome. They always responded to comments on blog posts and saved me a lot of time...I would've been looking for answers in various locations on cc.</p>

<p>[Lehigh</a> University :: Campus Connection - Archive](<a href=“http://www4.lehigh.edu/connection]Lehigh”>http://www4.lehigh.edu/connection)</p>

<p>Student blogs from an obscure part of the admissions site. Lots of pictures and tales of classes/student life.</p>
