Is it true that college admissions officers can see students' Facebook pages?

No they can't. Especially if it's on a private setting. Usually they don't care enough to look, either. Admissions officers have the ardous task of looking through thousands and thousands of applications - they typically won't want to look into extra things that make the job more time consuming.

Employers on the other hand look if they can. Again, if it's on private they can't. The only people that really look are government jobs such as a police officer. They look regardless of your privacy settings, and they look at your friends, too (but they can't look at your friends if their profile is on private).
