Picking a college

The White House released a new College Scorecard website, which allows users to search schools by name or by  location, size, and degree program.  The program offers information about colleges such as average annual cost, graduation rate, alumni earnings post-graduation, and how many students receive federal loans at a given school (leading to post-graduation debt). http://www.boston.com/news/education/2015/09/14/the-white-house-released-scorecard-help-students-pick-the-right-college/hTuafV3fWSOIwAklaWH7LI/story.html?s_campaign=Email:BComToday   https://collegescorecard.ed.gov
