New way to find the right college

The US Department of Education has a new college search site available called College Navigator. This site is part of the redone IPEDS/COOL site that I have mentioned before as providing information for students seeking a college. College Navigator allows students to search colleges for different criteria much like several other websites. The nice thing about this, however, is the results tie into the information provided by the colleges themselves to the Department of Education. This generally provides the most accurate information about the colleges that is available. Remember, however, that like most information about colleges, the data is at least one year out of date.

IPEDS/COOL was a helpful site before and the new website is even better.
