WordPress, Blogger, TypePad…there’s all sorts of blogging platforms – and higher education is using them! College blogs are a fun way to learn about college life. Straight from the colleges themselves, (though not necessarily a reflection of that school’s opinions) you’ll discover fun campus superstitions, big events and celebrations, exciting classes, or even new majors.
Follow along with the life of a college student or read what college admissions has to say. Some may be more descriptive than others, but they all possess value: a peek at the inner workings of colleges and universities. It’s a great way to stay on top of college life – and aid you in your college decision-making process!
Did we miss your favorite college blog? Oops! As always, feel free to add it to the comments section below. While you’re at it – don’t forget to get My College Guide Blog updates free via RSS or Email.

It’s awesome that colleges are finally adapting web 2.0 media to help improve their campuses. I read just the other day about a college study that was utilizing facebook to test how rapidly a ‘meme’ spreads across the internet. Pretty cool stuff when the fun and the science come together!
Great news to hear that colleges are adopting blogs and news media. When I was attending university, they had just launched blogging and the platform was like a throwback to Pascal days.
Thank you.
