Yes. If you name is on the deed no matter how it is titled then you can have a lien placed on the property for unpaid student loans. The only way to avoid this is to not be in title at all.
This is how this might work:
Bob marries Sally who becomes disabled from a car wreck. The student loan entity denied Sally's disability discharge and the loan is going into default.
In order to purchase a home, Bob sets up a family trust and adds the home to the trust. His adult son is the trustee at Bob's death, but Sally will be able to live in their home until she dies or moves to a nursing facility. This avoids any lien because a)her name is not on the deed and b)her beneficiary rights are only granted at her death and immediately pass to her children (the remaining beneficiaries). The property avoids probate and Sally isn't put on the street.

A right of survivorship must be set forth in the deed by which you acquired your property. If the deed doesn't state you received the property as "joint tenants", or as "joint tenants with the right of survivorship" which is required in some jurisdictions, then you own as tenants in common and have no survivorship rights. If you review your deed and the answer isn't clear you should consult with the attorney who represented you at your closing who can draft a confirmatory deed with survivorship rights if necessary.

Tenants by the entirety is a tenancy reserved for people who are married. If two people who are not married acquire property as tenants by the entirety the tenancy would fail. If two unmarried people want to create a survivorship in each other they should hold the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. That way, if one died the other would automatically own the property.

Simply stating "as joint tenants" creates a survivorship in some jurisdictions. In others the words, "as joint tenants with the right of survivorship" must be used.
