Group and Instant Chat

With Hobsons EMT Group and Instant Chat, you can ensure that your institution is at the top of your students' buddy list. Group Chat tools let students form relationships around common topics before they even get to campus. Instant Chatting with students allows them to ask personalized questions from an admissions representative in real time.

Overview

Facilitate connections that lead to enrollment
Whether they are a world away or in your own backyard, online group chats bring students together so that you can get to know them, help them learn about your school, and convince them to attend.

Give students a personalized experience.
With instant chatting tools, students speak one-on-one with an admissions rep - giving them a personal experience from day one and eliminating their fears of being "just a number."

Chat amongst yourselves
Host parent chats to answer common "first time in college" questions, hold admitted student chats to bring together your incoming class... even host residence hall chats that allow students to meet others who will be living with them.
