The Importance of College Choice

“Paying for college today is often more expensive than a down payment on a house or a car, yet students and their families often make their college decision without knowing or understanding the full financial ramifications. It’s astounding how much time and money students waste when they change majors or transfer schools which happens routinely. Our rankings and matching system were built to help students make the right decisions the first time, so they can find a college and major they are happy with and graduate with less debt.”

— College Factual CEO, Bill Phelan
