University of Alabama Uses Blogs to Recruit

"Would it have made your decision to attend the University of Alabama easier if you had known exactly what kind of problems awaited you your freshman year? Better yet, would it have helped to know how other freshmen dealt with all the difficulties that first year students encounter?

The University is betting that reading a blog written by freshman students will help boost enrollment, and make potential students comfortable with college life before setting foot on campus. For this reason, UA undergraduate admissions created "BamaLogs," which launched this semester."
