Facebook's REST APIs seem pretty casually designed. "api.test.com/students/1234" is better URL design than "api.test.com/1234/students". You could then naturally guess to use "api.test.com/students" to get a list of students whereas with "api.test.com/1234/students" you'd end up having to do something weird like "api.test.com/all/students".
