There is a marked change in the way the top universities are looking at social media. Many universities boast of an active Facebook page or a Youtube channel but very few offer outstanding services.
The "BestCollegeOnline" puts the top universities to the test on their social media network and came up with some interesting results. Among them is the Notre Dame, which gets the first position in this list of top universities. Notre Dame not only offers details of libraries, alumni and other professional resources online but keeps regular text updates for the sports groups.
The Syracuse gets its position in the top universities using social media by its huge presence on Twitter where alumni and students can effectively enjoy the homecoming weekend activities even when they are not on campus.
Similarly, the Baylor finds itself in the top universities loop because of its huge group on Facebook with almost 40,000 likes. It is also active on other networks such as Twitter, blogs and itunesU.
Ohio state university boasts of a record breaking 700,000 "likes" on its Facebook athletics department. Many universities can claim to having their own social media group which maintains such networks where interaction is possible.

What Is The Net Price Of The Top Universities?

As the rush and procedures for admissions in the universities among high school senior students begins, there was a growing need to identify the total amount of fees the student was paying to the universities.
In most cases, the top universities charge around $50,000 a year under various heads such as tuition fees, accommodation and other lodging charges. The amount that a student pays actually is different in many cases.
This deviation has been brought to light by a new Federal website which could possibly signal a change the way admissions into universities are viewed in the country. According to the site, the net price of a college is its fees considering all the aid and scholarships awarded.
Certain universities have surprisingly high net price due to their inability to give grants and aid to needy or meritorious students whereas certain institutes have managed to lower their net price by giving out huge amounts in scholarships.
Based on these conditions the website has given a list of the most high net price universities, as well as the most low net price ones. The New York University, Northeastern University and the Catholic University occupy the top three spots in the high net price list with all of them having net price in excess of $32,000.
