Common questions
How was colleges with the lowest net price in illinois built?
From published federal reporting and each college’s own Common Data Set. It’s filtered and sorted on the number the list is about. It isn’t a ranking, and nobody set the order by hand.
What should I do with a list like this?
Use it to find schools worth a look. Then check each one against your own numbers. A school being on a list says nothing about whether it fits you. Fit is the question that matters.
