Using YouTube in Your College Search

Have you tried using YouTube to research colleges? Some schools have posted video clips on essay writing, campus tours, and even sample classes.  But like everything else, you need to be a good consumer. Similar to viewbooks, the YouTube videos can be another form of marketing.  A personal campus visit is still the best way to really find out what the college is like, and if you go, ask to sit in on a class so that you can get a first-hand experience.  For more information on how some colleges are using YouTube, check out this post in The New York Times education blog, The Choice.
