<p>Too much time? Nah.. It takes what, 20 minutes max to add a new blog entry? Hundreds of prospective students read the blogs to get a good sense of what the school is like. I don't think that is a wasted 20 minutes.</p>
<p>It IS true, IMO, that MIT students have more time than Caltech students, but I'm sure you could at least find a few Caltech students willing to write a small blog post once a week. Of course, I'm just a high school student, so I could be wrong. But if no one has 20 minutes once a week to help inform prospective students about their school, then maybe my impression of Caltech was wrong.</p>
<p>It wouldn't even have to be fancy - quite a few schools have them. Check out the Illinois</a> Institute of Technology admissions blogs too.</p>
<p>I really do think that it would be a very nice addition to Caltech's site, and very useful. The Caltech website makes it seem like a very static, 'dead' school. While I know this isn't really the case, some blogs might liven it up a bit..</p>
