College Information and Rankings

This website is our overall favorite. Their college search feature offers lots of relevant information and organizes it all well. Our clients find value in reading the student survey responses and reviews which offer first-hand student experiences and perspectives.

Another feature we like is their college rankings. Unlike other college rankings, these rankings seem to align better with the perceptions of both academics and professionals in the field. 

Also, their rankings by major can be very helpful when building a college list.


Despite the heavy marketing ploys, their college search feature is superior to many others because it allows users to sort colleges using multiple criteria simultaneously, including location, size, majors, admission rate, etc. 


This company specializes in analyzing salary data. Each year they publish their College Salary Report that ranks colleges based on the salaries of their graduates.


While the information is quite basic and the website design outdated, their "Use Map" feature can be helpful for students wanting to search colleges by geographic location. This website is maintained by the National Center for Educational Statistics.
