There have been 1,000's of student posts from many, many different schools. Clarkson U speaks out starting at "Get a Grip" and many posts previous to that http://clarkson.dailyjolt.com/forum/index.html There are lots of school forums if you are interested; http://www.dailyjolt.com/schools/ For those looking for more student reaction I would also recommend reviewing the forums on the individual daily jolt campus sites.

I wanted to email the staff to let them know what a great job they are doing, but didn't want to clog the email. I'm sure its still very hectic. I am truly impressed at the coverage by the Collegiate Times. It rivals, and in most cases, tops, the national media. I have been using the site as my first click for updates. And I have seen the EIC on CNN several times as one of the go-to people interviewed at the campus. She is a picture of composure amid chaos. Our thoughts are with the staff also as you sift through the information and misinformation in order to bring us the news. Great job.

It's pretty amazing how many people from our school knew people there and our reporters did a great job of digging them up. I have also been struck by the immediate reaction of the Facebook to these events. http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/04/04-17-07tdc/04-17-07dnews-07.asp http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/04/04-17-07tdc/04-17-07dweb-02.asp http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/04/04-17-07tdc/04-17-07dweb-01.asp http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/04/04-17-07tdc/04-17-07dnews-08.asp Personally my thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Virginia Tech community, especially all those whose loved ones were killed or injured.
