I wanted to title this blog post something like "FFFFAAACCCEEBBBOOOOKKK!", but I wanted people to be able to search for this post on google just in case someone looking to iit typed in "iit+student+life+facebook" now that i think of it, i might just have to change the title of the blog itself so that it becomes easier to find via a search site. ( FFFFAAACCCEEBBBOOOOKKK doesn't really make any sense, really.)
so we're actually live on facebook. I'll be honest, the admissions counselors are a bit out of the loop on facebook, heck, i'm a bit out of the loop on facebook, but we're trying our best to connect prospective students to information about iit in any way possible.
we first made a facebook page. i hadn't heard much about facebook pages, but apparently it's much different from a facebook group. instead of becoming members of the group, you become fans of the page. my beef with a page is that there is little interaction with it. so instead, i created a facebook group that's open to anyone. its called
Illinois Institute of Technology - 2009 Admits!
Like I mentioned earlier, it's an open group, so even if you haven't been admitted or haven't even applied, you can still join. Everyone is welcome, and it will soon have a lot of information about everything on how to get the ball rolling at iit.
this facebook group is entirely student run so anything goes. I am one of the admins so try not to get R rated. I'm all for freedom and speech and anything, but we just want to focus on making the facebook group a great resource for freshman and transfer students who plan on coming to iit or might need that little extra convincing. some of the students running the group a other student ambassadors, some RAs and even RHA people (see previous posts). I'll try to get a bunch of different people involved with the group so that whatever question you have, we'll be able to answer it.
you can use the page to ask questions about housing policies, academics, student life, whatever you want, just as long as it's somewhat related to iit. haha.
