Blogging University Life

It is becoming quite common to find universities that have students blogging as an admissions tool for recruitment. One that is a little more on the "cutting edge" is the blog at the University of Dayton (see here). Not only do they have rss and podcasting subscriptions available, but they also pay each of the six students who are blogging $500 each semester so long as they post at least once a week.

Also, the Chronicle of Higher Education has a nice article about using student blogs as recruiting tools. (Just like many articles, this one requires a subscription. However if anyone ever would like to see a copy of any article that I link to that requires a subscription, let me know as most of them are able to be e-mailed.
