<p>Interesting site, but not 100% accurate. It is a good place to start, but I would still check the college's own web sites.</p>
<p>anxiousmom -- Good for Rice! Impressive that they have the cap. I have been shocked to see the amounts of debt schools and parents encourage/allow students to incur.</p>
<p>Agree with Queen's Mom about studentaid2.ed.gov/gotocollege/campustour/ </p>
<p>It is helpful, but not 100% accurate. Dig deeper at college websites and financial aid offices.</p>
<p>The info at the studentaid2.ed.gov web site looks like it's pulling data from each college's Common Data Set. I believe this is where US News and the College Board get their info too.</p>
<p>The nice thing is that this site has the data even when other sources don't. For example, Tufts University doesn't publish its own CDS and I also can't find their financial aid statistics at the College Board. US News has info on Tufts in their paid subscriber area, but it's limited to the data fields they choose. The govt. site shows more complete data on Tufts.</p>
<p>The down side of going to the CDS-based sites is that they are always a little out of date. The College Board and US News don't say which year's data they're using; the govt. site says it's using data from the 2007 academic year.</p>
<p>So if the college tells you what you want to know, it's likely to be more up to date. But my experience is that colleges often don't tell me everything I want to know, and in that case, year-old data is definitely better than no data.</p>
<p>Calreader,</p>
<p>Another "thanks" for the link! D's school is one of those which doesn't publicly post its CDS, and I saw some of its data for the first time on the FAFSA site.</p>
<p>The SAT data it shows are averages, though, and that's not how the CDS is laid out - it uses the 25 and 75 percentiles. Plus, it includes very hard to find stuff like the average freshman GPA. Anyone want to talk grade inflation/deflation?</p>
<p>Thanks again. Very interesting.</p>
