  1. You're missing NC State.

    You forgot NC State University. It's typically ranked between 20-40 depending on the methodology. You have UNC-C and NC A&T but for some reason, the largest and best engineering program in the state was forgotten.

  2. Questions on USA Today College Rankings

    Hi,

    I have a few questions about the USA Today College Rankings.

    1) Annual Net Price In-State- How is this calculated? Where do you get the information?
    2) Loan Default Rate- What are the parameters for the rankings? What are the cut offs for Low, Average and High?
    3) Full-time Teachers- How and where do you get this information?
    4) For retention rate you just have High, Average or Low. What are the parameters for these categories?
    5) On-Time Graduation Rate- What cohort is this for? It's a four year grad rate, correct?

    Thank you for the help!

  3. How do we compare to last years data?

    How can we compare this years data with last years data? or at least the overall ranking?
    Specifically I am trying to find what the University of Arizona was ranked last year to compare to this year.

    Thanks

  4. Some of your data is absurdly incorrect.

    Some of your data is nonsensically incorrect.

    You give the mean SAT scores of Southern University of New Orleans as 1,065. Absurd. No one who knows anything about SU would claim such a thing. Combined score of 500 is more likely.

  7. WVU/Freshman housing

    New students at West Virginia University ARE required to live on campus, except in some specific situations -- living with parents and commuting within 50 miles, married, 21 or over, w/children.

    Reference: http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/west-virginia-university/student-life/
    "This school offers on-campus housing, but freshmen are not required to take advantage of this."

    Here's the information on our website: http://housing.wvu.edu/apply_for_housing/who_has_to_live_on_campus

  8. Third to Sixth? Unlikely!

    Our Department of Theatre only recently discovered that we were ranked third in the country in the 2015 summary. The embargoed new listings show that we have dropped three places. We were about to advertise that your site had so ranked us and that we were third-ranked because we were behind only UCLA and NYU.

    We pulled the ad this morning and are creating a new campaign. It is highly unlikely that Loyola Marymount, Yale, and Wisconsin have supplanted us. Yale does not offer undergraduate training for the professional theatre. The struggles in Wisconsin are familiar to anyone following the…

  9. Our Program was Top 10 and now....its gone?

    Michigan State University is one of the top ten colleges in the country for Forestry Programs. You reflected that in your listing a few weeks ago but now MSU is not there at all.

    Please correct this as we have an advertisement coming out that features your website!

  10. Resource

    Hello:

    I believe a link to http://www.college-scholarships.com/free_scholarship_searches.htm would make a great addition to the resources currently listed on your website.

    The page lists and links to more than 70 no-cost scholarship websites; virtually every such site that exists.

    Elsewhere on the site http://www.college-scholarships.com, you'll find additional scholarship information and features of value to your website visitors...information which includes an instant GPA calculator, contact information for every college in the United States, a list of colleges which offer comprehensive programs for students with learning disabilities, lists of Christian, Catholic, and woman's colleges, a list of HBCU's, and links to more…

  13. question about missing data

    I'm trying to figure out what the difference, between the ranking in Top Colleges for Business Administration & Management (1st column) and when I don't see a grade like for Temple or Penn State and I search for the school and under the program rankings i find:
    Top Colleges for Business, Management and Marketing, Temple University, is #61 out of 782, but the school is not shown in the Major rankings. Examples below

    University of Connecticut 31 53
    Duquesne University 124 56
    Penn State University ? 57
    Temple University ? 61
    James Madison University 60 87

    Great site, by the…

  15. In correct photo on our list of top 10 Catholic Colleges

    Thank you so much for including the College of Saint Benedict on your top 10 list for Catholic Colleges. Unfortunately, the picture you used with our listing isn't from CSB. I am attaching a photo this is from our campus with the hopes that you could update the listing. The photo you includes was from Saint John's University. Thank you so much!

    Hi there,
    I handle website marketing on behalf of Ashland University. I was researching relevant websites to help increase online awareness for the school and came across a listing on your website that mentions our university:
    http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/ashland-university/paying-for-college/room-and-board/#

    Would you be willing to kindly link where it says “Ashland University” to our website at https://www.ashland.edu/? We would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
