When I opened my new UArts computer, I was amused to see a link to the University of the Arts Second Life. If you've not yet checked it out, I suggest you stop in. Hamilton Hall looks great as a virtual space, and I imagine there are fewer scheduling conflicts than in the real world.
I've been spending a lot more time thinking about social networking lately. I heard an interesting report on how sites like myspace and facebook are becoming places where artists who are thinking about graduate schools get information. Because our program is neither traditional nor on a lot of top-ten lists, it has always been difficult to reach prospective students even after more than a dozen years. Hopefully, finding the University of the Arts in more places online will make it more compelling to prospective students. But maybe not. i think word of mouth is a huge factor in making the decision about where to go.
I'm curious about how people in the program found us, and about how (or even if) you use blogs, social network sites, or other internet resources. Comments would be greatly appreciated.
