To improve College Factual's rankings, one innovative idea could be to introduce a "Technological Resources and Support" category, which evaluates colleges based on the availability of up-to-date technology, including essential hardware and software resources for students. This ranking could assess institutions on their ability to provide cutting-edge devices, multimedia tools, and IT support to enhance learning.

For example, schools that offer advanced hardware, such as DVD ROM Drive and other specialized equipment in computer labs or as part of multimedia courses, could score higher. This addition would give prospective students insight into the technical infrastructure that supports their education, especially for those pursuing fields where access to hardware like DVD ROM Drives is essential for coursework and research.

Expanding the rankings to include this criterion would help students make more informed decisions based on their specific technological needs and interests.
