Finding college should be clear and simple
Choosing the right college shouldn't mean spending countless hours sorting through rankings, tuition costs, and admissions websites. Even after all that research, it can still be hard to know which schools truly fit your academic goals and your budget, and which one you'll call home for the next chapter of your life. We want to change that. So we built a personalized college matching system that recommends schools based on what matters most to you. And for student-athletes, we have resources too.
Our Data
Every match starts with real data that comes straight from the U.S. Department of Education's IPEDS. We include every public and private U.S. college and university that grants degrees and enrolls first-time, full-time undergraduates. To show what you'd actually pay, we take the net price at each income level from the most recent year on record — real cost after aid, not the sticker price — and the share of students paying full price comes from that same first-time, first-year IPEDS data. Last refreshed July 2026.
