    One of the best, proven and most popular ways to engage students online is by using moderated group chat (AKA ‘real-time social networking).

    Check out http://university-chats.com for more information and features.

    Students love chat.
    And now faculty, staff and parents have
    caught on to the convenience, efficiency and
    usefulness of online moderated group chat.
    Personally connect with large groups in the medium they
    know and prefer.
    Focus on topics that matter most to students and their parents such as
    admissions, financial aid, testing requirements, and more.

    Better yield. Save time and money while you familiarize prospective students with
    your school. Admissions-Chat helps you to motivate very large groups of
    them to apply and enroll.
