There are reports that some college admissions departments scrutinize applicants' personalities online, such as Facebook, Linkedin and MySpace profiles, and as a result, they urge students to remove "sarcastic jokes, bad pictures, or political cartoons," and be wary about what their friends post on their pages as well. A concurring report suggested that some offices have people tasked with "checking out applicants' Facebook pages", although there is a contrasting report from one college recruiter who said that their policy is not to examine Facebook profiles and that "Facebook is reserved for students on a recreational basis." The same caution applies to email addresses; one advisor cautions against having jazzed-up email addresses such as "Spicychick@gmail.com", freakydude@outlook.com, etc but rather that users should stick with their name, if possible, since it can help colleges find a student's records.
