This website is hosted by the Department of Education. All the information is directly form the data that is submitted by colleges.
COLLEGE RAPTOR IS NEW TO THIS FIELD BUT I LIKE THE USER FRIENDLY SITE THEY HAVE. THEY ALSO INCLUDE AN ESTIMATED COST OF ATTENDANCE AND MATCHING OPTION. THIS IS A VERY STUDENT FRIENDLY SITE.
