College Student Blogs

Wondering what that college you are looking at is really like? Many colleges have started putting blogs on their websites with comments from admission officers, students or sometimes both. Although some colleges monitor student blogs, some colleges are more hands off and allow totally honest comments from their students to be seen.

A recent article in bostonworks.com has a good article about some of the blogs used by colleges. The article lists several colleges blog sites but many more colleges have blogs. If you are considering a college and want more information check to see if it has a blog. They can usually be found on the admissions web page. Of course, like everything else coming directly from the college, remember that it is just one person’s view of that college and generally a pretty optimistic one. Still a blog from the college or its students give you one more bit of information to see if the college would be a good fit for you.
