A word to the wise about rankings...

Rankings are everywhere and they are primarily a marketing tool for the publications who post them. Rankings do not adequately gauge a student's experience nor do they offer you insight on whether a college is a fit school for you.

HOW TO RESEARCH COLLEGES

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) U.S. Dept. of Education > Institute of Education Sciences (IES) > National Center for Education Statistics > IPEDS > College Navigator > You data from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs no rankings, no marketing, straight data

Still Wanting a Ranking?

The New York Times developed a unique ranking tool where YOU choose what matters most to you when choosing a college. Try this tool out to reflect your priorities. Revisit this often as your priorities may change as you explore more about colleges.
