  2. I can see this as both a good thing and a bad thing. I mean it's not cool that they are able to "creep" on your facebook profile but at the same time it can also show the college what type of student you are/will be or if you will cause problems at the school.

  4. What you put on facebook is your choice, I think it is good you should be held accountable for what you say.

  5. Personally i don't like facebook and i haven't been on it for over a year. The only reason i have a facebook account is because a friend made it for me. So if a college wants to find dirt on me, they're going have dig a lot deeper than just creeping on facebook!

  6. Put anything from porn to partying pics on your facebook, from what i read you'll be safe. Only a very small % of colleges check out your stuff.

  8. I think it's a good thing in a way so they know what you say abut other people and to see if your responsible on what you put on the internet.

  10. i think its a good and bad thing because you can truly know someone but then again you become a creep just for college application. Just think twice before you send or post something before it destroys your future

  13. i think it is a good thing for colleges and or jobs to be able to look online at your facebook page because most people on facebook have there friends and are comfortable to talk on there, like how they act on there could very well define them as who they are, you could truly see who they are by the way they talk on facebook.

  15. I don't think they should be looking up students on facebook or google. Because there judging someone before they even get to know them.

  16. I think this is a good thing. Social medias show who people are, this also teaches people to think twice before posting anything bad
