National accreditation vs regional

I am new to admissions at the College Career level. I am currently training and learning about state licensing and accreditation. Is it more beneficial as a school to be nationally or regionally accredited?

Admission and Marketing

I came from an independent school where the Admissions Director and Associate Director balanced the roles of both recruiting students and marketing the school as well. Is this a commonality at the Higher Ed level or usually is there a separate office and staff for admissions and marketing?

Agent vs a Counselor

As someone who was formerly an admission counselor, has anyone struggled with the change of transitioning from an admission counselor to an admission agent?

On average, students who become more involved in the school with activities, extracurriculars, community service, etc tend to be more successful.
