ByStudents

It’s always nice to be appreciated, especially by people we don’t know. We’ve gotten some unsolicited really positive feedback about our survey and we thought we could share some of that here:

thanks for sending me the survey, it was actually pretty fun to fill out! Looking forward to see what you guys put together!!

we all wish there had been a resource like this when we were applying to college so it should be our duty to do it.

This seems like such a neat idea! I will forward your e-mail to my fellow cabinet members tonight and mention it to them when I see them on campus.

Keep up the great work and let me know how we can help!

Vivian, FIU

This is, of course, much more encouraging than when people write back and say they don’t fill out surveys except for money–what century do we think this is? Although sometimes at least people are clever. One student sent me a quote from <i>Bartleby, the Scrivener</i> to communicate his disinterest in participating. Now that is classy.

Our first foray into the world of YouTube, a basic informational video featuring some of the ByStudents editors, is going really well so far: it has been viewed almost 800 times. It must help that we’re so darn fetching. View it here!

Joe has done a fantastic job with the new ByStudents site, making it less cluttered, easier to read, and hopefully more attractive to students everywhere. Check it out!
