We usually don't post about the poll results for the Random Poll of the Week, but the past two weeks have yielded some very interesting things about you, our readers (or at least those of you who voted).
The week of April 14 was a poll about where you live. Out of those who responded,
13% live in Main
13% live in Cushing
9% live in Lathrop
8% live in Noyes
7% live in Jewett
11% live in Josselyn
9% live in Raymond
8% live in Strong
13% live in Davison
0% live in the THs
1% live in the TAs
0% live in the SoCos
0% live in Ferry
2% live Off-Campus
What we discern from this is the majority of people who read us live in the 9 major houses - something we want to change in the coming year, as we move to become more campus-inclusive, and less dorm-exclusive.
In our other poll, from last week, we asked what class you're in. The response was:
1% are in the class of 2008
2% are in the class of 2009
11% are in the class of 2010
62% are in the class of 2011
17% are in the class of 2012
4% are college staff
This points to the fact that the majority of our readers are in the current freshman class, with the upcoming freshman class being our second-biggest source of readers. This is another thing that we want to change next year - we want to be widely-read across campus.
These polls provided insight as to how we should proceed with plans for next semester. Thanks to all who participated!

then why is the blog called life in the 9?
Hey 7:08 -
Good question.
We're actually called Blog9, with lifeinthe9.blogspot.com being our URL only because blog9.blogspot.com was already taken.
Right now, our slogan is "Life in the 9. It's personal." We originally tried to portray a diverse campus through correspondents in each of the major dorms. But if you read this post, it should become clear why we're looking to expand both our correspondents and readers.
sprink.
