Penguin Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Edited: Now that this thread is pinned, I will try to keep it updated here in the first post. I started the thread as a request for a list of favorite websites for researching colleges. All the credit for getting this list going belongs to JanetC - you can see her excellent and comprehensive reply after this post. Feel free to reply to the thread with additional resources.  Please be aware that many of these sites require that you make an account. And, of course, use your discretion about providing personal data. I have not personally used all of these sites.  Common Data Set Initiative http://www.commondataset.org/  These documents are the latest information that you can obtain from each school. All colleges/unis are required to produce them so if you do a google search with the school's name and CDS then you'll have access to the latest info. Not as useful if you still haven't narrowed your list of colleges down.   Searching for Colleges  College Confidential http://www.collegeco...college_search/  The College BoardĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s Big Future https://bigfuture.co...g/find-colleges  CollegeData.com collegedata.com  CollegeResults.org collegeresults.org  USNews - the biggest player in school rankings, for better or worse http://colleges.usne...m/best-colleges  Search.university  https://search.university/  Niche.com (also listed under student reviews) https://www.niche.com/  Educated Quest http://www.educatedquest.com/  Creation Colleges https://answersingenesis.org/colleges/  College Transitions Dataverse https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/     Federal Government Websites Where you can explore, without being marketed to!  College Scorecard    http://collegescorecard.ed.gov  College Navigator    http://collegenavigator.ed.gov  IPEDS - Access to all the government's raw data, going back years     http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/   Student Review Websites  As with all online reviews, use these with a grain of salt.  Unigo unigo.com  Niche niche.com  Students Review http://www.studentsreview.com/  Find a school for a Given Major  RuggĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s Recommendations on the Colleges http://www.ruggsrecommendations.com/  Most college search engines can give you list of schools that offer an English major, but how do you tell which schools have really good English departments? There are also lists of the best English departments in the country, but what if your test scores are not in the elite? RuggĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s Recommendations tries to fill this information gap.  This resource offers manageable-sized lists of schools that are good for a particular major, sorted by how easy or hard the schools are to get into.  It does not list all the schools out there, or all the majors at all the schools it does cover. But, for the schools that it covers (and there are plenty of them), it points out which departments are among the best of its peers.  Good Schools for Ordinary Kids  The 50/50 College List by Michelle Kretzschmar http://diycollegeran...-listing-intro/  This is a list of schools you can get intoĂ¢â‚¬Â¦ and get out of...  In order to be included in this list, the school must accept 50% or more of applicants and graduate 50% or more of its students in four years (private schools) or five years (public schools).  You wonĂ¢â‚¬â„¢t find Harvard here, nor will you find schools that take your money and provide little value. It's a first cut at finding the best of the middle, for kids who are not superstars. And, there are lots of choices here.  Find Another School "Like this One"  If you have one college that you like, you can build out your list by finding schools that are similar.  Chronicle of Higher Education: Who Does Your College Think Its Peers Are? http://chronicle.com.../peers-network?  Colleges state in their IPEDS data which other institutions they consider their peers/competitors.

Do not use this site to estimate prices for wealthier families!   Edited August 17, 2018 by Penguin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsTheDay Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'll put in another plug for the College Data site linked above. I was pretty college research savvy. I'd never heard of this site until an admissions counselor suggested it to me several years ago. It's far and above been my favorite ever since.  :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could keep adding to it. Since I am planning to hang around on this board for at least four more years, I could maintain it :) Â I am also in the midst of helping DS21 search for grad schools...another eye-opening project. So we could have a grad school section, too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I researched the schools ds applied to extensively and in the end felt like I had a pretty good read on admissions and financial aid. All admissions decisions/ FA awards were what I expected (or in case of FA in a range I expected). Â I used the College Data and Big Future almost exclusively for that info. Big Future for my first glance at admissions data and FA but College Data when I wanted to dig a little more.

kiso1 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Wow. I was aware and/or have used most sites on Janet's list except for Rugg's Recommendation. I'll be looking forward to perusing that site someday.  Two tools:  1.http://www.educatedquest.com/  This site gives detailed college coverage in a report format, downloadable in PDF. Not all colleges are there and I can't find a master list so you just have to search in the search box but many of the colleges he selects to visit and write about are selective colleges. It's fun descriptive reading, a change from looking at "lists."  2. Common Data Sets  These documents are the latest information that you can obtain from each school. All colleges/unis are required to produce them so if you do a google search with the school's name and CDS then you'll have access to the latest info. This is my favorite tool because ALL the numerical information that I want to know about the school is there. Not as useful if you still haven't narrowed your list of colleges down.  Edited April 22, 2016 by kiso1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkT Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Niche is more than just a student site "The Best Colleges ranking is based on rigorous analysis of academic, admissions, financial, and student life data from the U.S. Department of Education along with millions of reviews from students and alumni." Â https://www.niche.com/colleges/rankings/ Â It has a lot of information to help narrow your search versus most of the general sites listed above. Don't get hung up with their numerical ordering but I think their letter grades are fairly good. ================================================ Â [i don't think their college majors rankings are very good - then again I have yet to find anything in this specific search area outside of top 25 rankings] Â Â Edited July 31, 2017 by MarkT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShepCarlin Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is a great list! Many thanks for posting it. Has anyone ordered the PDF from Rugg's? Is it really, really worth the $25? Is it updated often? My son is a freshman this year and wants to major in biology with the long-term plans of becoming a herpetologist. We live in Georgia. In terms of our bigger universities, UGA is notoriously very unfriendly towards homeschoolers (of course that's where he thinks he wants to go). Georgia Tech is very homeschool friendly but he isn't interested...yet. I've been piddling around for the last 6 months trying to figure out some schools for him to look over that have great biology departments. It's not as easy as I thought it'd be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Rugg's is really good for (1) Kids who are willing/able to travel out of state (if you're limiting your list to in-state, this is overkill) (2) Kids who are not "top students" (if you're National Merit, lists of "top" schools are available for free from a bunch of sites) (3) Kids who have a pretty good idea of what they're interested in majoring in (There are no descriptions, just lists of majors and recommendations of colleges by selectivity, all other research has to be done elsewhere) It gets updated yearly, but I used the same version for two kids two years apart. I would say using a version 2 or three years old is fine. Since your child is a freshman, start with free lists, and consider buying Rugg's when you have a sophomore or junior. http://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-colleges-biochemistry http://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-colleges-biology http://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-colleges-biomedical-engineering http://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-colleges-environmental-science The price of Rugg's does not include free updates. It is a go-to resource for high school guidance counselors who need to make quick recommendations for lots of kids each year. The cost is on par with a round of college admissions testing so it's pretty reasonable considering the work it takes to maintain it.
