Advice

         If I was hired by the college to infuse new media to create a better college environment, I would pursue and social media movement. Colleges in the United States are currently ran under bureaucratic nightmare and this causes much of the stress college students face now of days. Whether it's not signing a certain box on your FASFA or not knowing why your date to sign up for classes is different from your friends ( both statements I heard today while sitting in class) the bureaucratic structure causes students to become frustrated not only about Brooklyn College  but around the country.
         This is the problem and social media is the answer. I'm not saying to tweet about how "this school sucks" but rather tweet to a problem solving account dedicated to helping take down the structures that bureaucratic ways create. Creating a dedicated social help desk can create and environment of questions and answers which confusing college environment desperately needs. This can be taken to Facebook as well. We currently have several pages on Facebook the address questions to, however these pages are inconsistent on answering and could offer incorrect information. Incorrect information could cause major problems not only for the student that asked the question but for anybody in the group who read it and believed it .
       With these new systems in place the college can get back to educating rather then jus problem solving. Twitter and Facebook are going to be a major part of students lives while they are in college, targeting where students are will resolve the issues students face.

  1. I completely agree with you. Once you are in college,many students don't like or have the time to go to this places but a social media that is dedicated to that would help students greatly.
