[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised some schools allow people who aren’t parent of admitted or current students to join. [/quote]

They want prospective parents to get answers, that's a good thing.  Also some are not run by the schools, but by parents, so it's their choice what to do. 
I joined for most of the schools my kids were considering applying to, then dropped once kid decided where to attend.

I joined a couple of groups for my current college student's school. He is out of state and I do learn occasional helpful information that I pass along to my son.

I wouldn't advise joining school pages at this stage, unless your student has already narrowed choices to a couple. The topics that are most useful for feedback IMO are related to housing, study abroad, and healthcare, which are topics that you likely don't need to worry about yet. You'd get a better pulse on campus issues from the student newspapers.

I also have a high school senior and don't plan to bother with FB for that student until the spring, at the earliest. YMMV.[/quote]
