A new school year is upon us. Students once again are pouring onto campus. The first few weeks of a school year is an exciting time and one that your alumni are sure to recall. One of the major differences though between when alumni made their return to classes and when today’s students come back is the amount of sharable content that today’s students are creating versus the past.
In order to catch these magical moments of orientation, the arrival of football season and dorm room decoration, we utilized our NearCampus iPhone app, which aggregates all publicly available Instagram photos at every college and university in the United States. You can download the app here for free for next time you’re looking for photos that are taking place on your college campus.
