College blogs tell it like it is
Schools ask students to give applicants a real account of campus life

MIT sophomore Lulu Liu, who keeps a blog for the
school's admissions office, cooked dinner in a dormitory kitchen in
Cambridge.

By Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff | April 16, 2007

She stopped showing up for most of her classes, pulled frequent all-nighters, and overslept exams. Worse, writes MIT sophomore Lulu Liu on her blog,
she skipped meals, growing skinny and sick.

Yet she still earned A's and B's.

"If it pleases you to lock yourself in your room -- except to sneak out late at night in a trench coat to turn in your problem sets -- . . . you'll find good
company here," Liu wrote.

Liu writes about her college experiences in as much excruciating detail as she wishes -- for $10 an hour, courtesy of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology's admissions office. Uncensored blogs by Liu, nine other students, and four admissions and financial aid officers are the first thing that visitors
to the admissions website see.

                            It was so nice to turn over the boat to
                            where it was built by my cousin Fred
                            Goodsell. It makes our hearts warm to
                            know this was the right thing to do for
                            our lost families. We hope to see the little

  • 33. College blogs tell it like it is Schools ask students to give applicants a real account of campus life MIT sophomore Lulu Liu, who keeps a blog for the school's admissions office, cooked dinner in a dormitory kitchen in Cambridge. By Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff | April 16, 2007 She stopped showing up for most of her classes, pulled frequent all-nighters, and overslept exams. Worse, writes MIT sophomore Lulu Liu on her blog, she skipped meals, growing skinny and sick. Yet she still earned A's and B's. "If it pleases you to lock yourself in your room -- except to sneak out late at night in a trench coat to turn in your problem sets -- . . . you'll find good company here," Liu wrote. Liu writes about her college experiences in as much excruciating detail as she wishes -- for $10 an hour, courtesy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's admissions office. Uncensored blogs by Liu, nine other students, and four admissions and financial aid officers are the first thing that visitors to the admissions website see.
