Ben Jones, The Blogfather, started the MIT Blogs in 2004. The idea behind the blogs was to open a window into the lives of MIT students: what they do, think, and feel.
MIT was one of the first universities to have students write their thoughts about life in college in blogs. These honest, uncensored posts reveal a lot about MIT students, academics, and life at MIT that prospective students can review to help determine if MIT is the right fit for them.
