How effective are Social Networking Sites?

I'm curious if students have the ability to chat with a live person from one of our schools directly from Facebook or comparable sites? Or is there just a link to the general website?

Initiating Contact

I understand the statement that "Agents are not permitted to initiate contact with students who are enrolled at other schools to attempt to have them enroll in the school where I work". My question is, what if I am out/off the clock and I am talking to an individual who may not be happy with their current school, would I be able to talk with them about it at that time? Thanks!

Informed discussion

I think an institution has an obligation of informing a student if they are in danger of taking out too many student loans, which would increase their chances of going into default. The financial aid officer has the student's record and history of the schools they may have already been to. It would be in the best interest of the student not to incur so much debt.
