College Scorecard to Help Students Choose Best College for Them

Following President Obama’s State of the Union address, the U.S. Department of Education released an interactive College Scorecard, which provides students and families the critical information they need to make smart decisions about where to enroll for higher education.

The College Scorecard – as part of President Obama’s continued efforts to hold colleges accountable for cost, value and quality – highlights key indicators about the cost and value of institutions across the country to help students choose a school that is well-suited to meet their needs, priced affordably, and is consistent with their educational and career goals.

The College Scorecard is quite a handy tool to find out important information like tuition costs, graduation rates as well as median borrowing per student. You can search by college name, college nearby, or by degree. This makes it simple for students to research insitutions and compare them. Do check it out!
