Oh, to be young, articulate, and scary-smart. M.I.T. is employing student bloggers to write posts about student life, which can be read by interested high school students who are considering applying to the school. And check out this snippet from the article:
The M.I.T. student bloggers have different majors, ethnicities, residence halls and, particularly, writing styles. Some post weekly or more; others disappear for months. The bloggers are sought out as celebrities during the annual “Meet the Bloggers” session at Campus Preview Weekend.
Clearly, I was born a couple decades too soon. Imagine the fanbase I could have accumulated as my school’s blogger-in-residence. Imagine the groupies! Then again, the Catholic liberal arts college I attended might not have been thrilled with frequent references to fishnets and other such subversive content.
