Is the student using a public computer (public meaning someone else 
used it before)?  Yes, make sure the temporary files and cookies are 
removed.  No, then empty any cache tables and the sessions table.  If 
that doesn't help the file an issue[1] with the buddylist module (I 
assume that is the "Buddies" plugin you mean).
