My Favorite College Blog Posts for 2009
Earlier this week, I shared the 10 most popular college blog posts that I wrote in 2009. While those posts included 
some of my favorites, there were others that I liked that didn't get as much attention.
Here are posts that I particularly enjoyed writing:

Living out here in California, I can tell you that it's becoming much more difficult to graduate from state schools in four years. Read about a determined girl who did it in just two.
What College Will Look Like in 2020
In 10 years we probably won't recognize most colleges. The classic college experience will no longer be the norm.
Four Questions to Ask a College Counselor
It's scandalous that many counselors' knowledge about college admissions and financial aid strategies is limited. Here are questions that you can use to test your counselor's higher-ed IQ.
