What do you think of brands advertising on campus, through student ambassadors or sponsored activities? Should colleges allow this sort of thing, or should campuses be kept as ad-free as possible?


Currently the strongest advertising we have on campus is Pepsi.  Their name is plastered all over the place, in the DC, and in the student center.  I feel it is fine.  We are exposed to advertising where ever we go.  By the time a person reaches college they should be able to make educated decisions for themselves and not just take advertisements for granted.  
This summer I was looking for an internship.  I actually walked around the science center and read off each on of the signs that said who the room was sponsored by.  I then wrote down those names, as they were all local companies and looked them up.  Any that interested me, I sent an email to them with my resume.  I ended up getting a very exciting internship this summer due to this method.  I am extremely happy the science center had these signs posted.  
It is one of the first times I have really benefited by advertising, and the company that I was hired with also benefited as they were able to fill a void in their corporation.  
Do the advertisements on campus bother you?  Do you think we should add more to get more funding for the school?
