Be sure to check out the College Scorecard which just recently got a makeover as reported by NPR.

College Scorecard also includes data on costs, graduation and retention, financial aid, typical earnings, student body, test scores and acceptances. ------------------- Questions for students: Go to College Scorecard and research a college that you are interested in.
