“Dozens of colleges — including Amherst, Bates, Carleton, Colby, Vassar, Wellesley and Yale — are embracing student blogs on their Web sites”

“Pomona has considered having student bloggers, but so far has felt that the risks outweigh the benefits, said Art Rodriguez, senior associate dean of admissions.”

Proud (and not surprised) that Carleton was one of the first to embrace not only blogs but STUDENT produced and unedited admission videos and posted vignettes:
