Exeter school in virtual initiative using NetVestibule
For many would-be MBA students, especially those from overseas, discovering what a school is “really“ like can be difficult.
However, the University of Exeter School of Business and Economics in the UK believes it may well have found a solution.
It has launched its own virtual community, which has already proved immensely popular in the few weeks it has been running. although it has only been running a few weeks, has proved to be immensely popular.
Following an application to the school, the student is given access to its school’s
intranet community. The applicant can contact future students, find accommodation, organise meetings, discover other students from his or her home country, share information and exchange gossip.
The intranet features a message board, applicants’ profiles and a class blog.
“The students have taken to it very quickly,“ says Charles Beard, marketing manager at the school.
“It is a great opportunity for them to meet fellow students of the future. For this generation, it is a very natural form of communication for them.
“They are getting into the community that will last them for the rest of their lives.The virtual community gives would-be students a much quicker and more relevant route to information, adds Mr Beard.“
“Many students, especially those coming from overseas, are incredibly isolated and they really know very little about what they are applying for.
“A system like this helps them identify the people from their own course and [allows them to] get a feel of the community they are going to be moving into.“
Mr Beard now hopes the enthusiastic response from applicants using the Net will now translate into student placements

Thanks James for facilitating this type of communication, it made me really feel at ease, knowing I will meet up with new students just like myself. It sure lessens the awkwardness of first meetings … I am glad to be part of this online community, and I am looking forward to get to know more students.

It is without doubt that this medium is a very effective way for prospective students to break the ice and communicate effectively with each other across the world.
A big thank you goes out to James Hewson and his colleagues for such foresight.

Admissions Sites Growing in Importance
ABC News, 22 May 2006
News excerpt:
New data reveal that college and university Web sites are the second most important component of recruiting efforts, behind campus visits by prospective students. Specifically, online tools such as blogs are attracting growing numbers of high school students to help them decide what institution to attend. Other institutions offer different kinds of online resources. North Dakota State University, for example, lets students find others with similar interests and exchange e-mail. Reflecting the inclinations of today's college-bound students, unedited online resources have become important offerings, despite grammatical and spelling mistakes, according to several higher education consultants. Steve Kappler, an executive director at consulting firm Stamats, said that the informality of such tools is appealing to students. He encouraged colleges and universities to let all but "egregious" content be posted in such venues. Many see the emergence of Internet resources as a way to give prospective students the opportunity to talk to current students, bypassing what they might see as the sales pitch of admissions officers.
